Music system with Internet DAB radio/MP3

joe_pesci

Hi, im not sure what im looking for, or exactly what the name is

But i want a music system which can access DAB internet radio and stream it, and also hook up my Sony MP3 player to play it from. Obviously im looking for a very good sound quality also. Not the standard. Will have budget of £250. Im not exactly sure what im looking for though.

I think Bose & Pure make stuff like this. Is something like this exactly what im after?

Can anyone recommend a system for around that price range. Im totally clueless on these things.

Hi I havent got one of these but they did have them in John Lewis and I was quite impressed with the sound quality.
Denon also make one but I expect it will be more expensive

Thanks Alan. Does it just use your wireless wifi to pick up the internet radios? or do i have to connect it upto laptop to update ?

Would a sony mp3 player connect to the device alan showed or the link joe linked to

I think they come with cables to connect normal mp3 players. Not ideal, bur i will never buy a IPOD:beer:

Squeezebox Boom - £199 from Amazon.

Doesn't do DAB, but will stream everything you can think of from t'interweb, plus integrate with last.fm, Deezer etc.

3.5mm line in for your mp3 player. Very, very good sound quality.

So are you looking for DAB radio or internet radio, as they are not quite the same. DAB is transmitted 'over the air' so no internet connection required.
