I recommend
Very good multifunctional and easy to use "radio".
Internet radio not usable
I actually wanted a replacement device, but the money was credited without a replacement delivery. So the problem is known.
Contra
- Internet radio only worked with very frequent stutters

I am very satisfied
I am very satisfied with the product, everything works as it should.
Good value for money
I was pleasantly surprised when I unpacked the product.
The purpose of this purchase was to replace an old Sangean U2 FM portable workshop radio.
This new product is well made for the price but when I first installed it I was very disappointed by the sound quality.
The equaliser isn't easy to find in the settings and there are presets such as ROCK-POP-CLASSIC etc. but that didn't convince me. I finally found the custom EQ setting and activated the loudness and pushed the bass almost to the max to get a good sound with good depth for listening in a 30 m2 workshop.
Internet Radio cuts out every 3-4 songs and buffers for several seconds, which is very annoying, but I'm only connected by WiFi and I'm in the basement, so I think the power of my signal is low and I'll see over time.
The I-Radio automatically searches by region, which is very practical, and there's a huge choice of stations.
DAB+ reception is very good in the basement of my workshop and I'm satisfied.
The Spotify connect function is very useful for simple listening, but it doesn't allow you to browse folders - I haven't worked out how to do that yet.
I haven't yet tried the USB, MP3 and DLNA functions, nor the RJ45 network with a cable.
It switches off automatically and goes into standby mode in 15-minute intervals if there's no music, which is a very useful function if you forget.
For the time being, this device suits me very well, but it has a multitude of functions that I've yet to test.
Pro
- Multiple network connections
- Spotify connect
- IRadio
- Wifi
- MP3 playback
Contra
- Metal antenna looks a bit old-fashioned
- Some I-Radio cuts during listening
- Slow to start up I-Radio
- Missing folder searches under network folders

Crystal clear reception, great sound
We use this part in a room with very unfavourable DAB+ reception (concrete building). Other receivers failed, this one is sensitive enough for crystal-clear reception. It also looks nice and you can place something on it (lamp, book, ...)
Pro
- Receptivity of the DAB+ reception
- Intuitive operation
- Super sound with many setting options
- Infinite number of stations via Internet radio

Very versatile, good choice
This is a very complete device, and one of the few that can also receive Internet radio (provided you have WiFi in the house). Beware of price fluctuations, ranging from CHF 129 to 192, and don't confuse this with the same model equipped with a CD player (better but more expensive).
Pro
- FM reception, DAB+, Internet radio, Bluetooth
- Connections (front: USB-A; rear: AUX in, headphones, line out, LAN)
- Numerous settings, good stereo sound, remote control (batteries included), current price
Contra
- Time-consuming configuration due to numerous options
- Some settings only possible with remote control (supplied), rear headphone socket
- External power supply unit a little bulky, no battery or accumulator power

Impeccable sound
I was looking for an internet radio station... mainly with a DAB+ option. It covers all forms of networks!
My fear: the sound. But, thanks to its two speakers, it's magnificent. What's more, it incorporates an equalizer that lets you adjust each level according to your preference (treble/bass). And thanks to its 30 W, the quality/detail of the sound remains when you don't turn it up very loud.
A really good device. I highly recommend it!Pro
- all networks
- sound

Good device
I bought the device for my mother and preconfigured it. It makes a solid impression on me. I'm only mentioning the negative now:
When saving the channels, the message kept coming up that the channel was already in use, then it deleted the wrong channel, etc. It was a struggle to save 5 stations with the current FW update. Maybe the radio was confused because I was also connected to the mobile. But another customer earlier already complained about something like that.
A carrying handle Sitil "suitcase radio" would be good.
Especially with a carrying handle, then also a battery slot or rechargeable battery, even if the device would then hardly be larger, but somewhat heavier.
Why does it freeze when listening to internet radio and the connection is interrupted?
Could be solved with software.
If you are on IR reception and switch to DAB, it just takes the alphabetically smallest station instead of switching to the last preset. Or at least preset #1. That's also software that you would just have to rework.Pro
- Compact
- Well processed
- Sound ok for this size and range of application
Contra
- Programming the presets is tedious
- No carrying handle
- No battery or battery compartment
