What experiences have others had with DAB+ and Internet radio? Mr. H.R. wrote a very damning verdict on the Denon DRA - 800H in this regard, which irritated me a lot. How does it work with the others?

Hello
Owning a DRA-800H myself, I started by wasting my time trying to get this device to work for DAB and internet station favourites with the remote, logically. What you need to do is install Denon's HEOS app in your smartphone and create a HEOS account by connecting the Denon to your TV via HDMI cable in ARC. Put your email address and create a password. This allows you to configure the Denon according to the affiliated equipment. Note that the correct screen does not come up at first and it is well noted in the manual that you have to switch off and start again... But once it is configured from the TV, you should be able to use your device without any problem. You open your HEOS app and you have everything from the app. The streaming platforms where you find your playlists, the radio stations where you select favourites as usual with radios that have the web stations. And I've also made favourites of DAB stations that you can find as well. To sum up, you can hardly get by without the HEOS app and an affiliate account. But once you've done that, you can do everything from your smartphone and forget about your remote! Of course you have to connect the phone's WI-FI to control the Denon. I have another amp and everything is also done with an affiliate app...
Best regards
