Hi all I am currently looking for a Iphone Dock which has an intergrated DAB Radio and Internet Radio and if possible the ability to stream music from my laptop. I also want to be able to plug it into my existing amplifier and speakers as i am very happy with these. I dont mind if it hasn't got speakers with it or not as long as the intergrated speakers could be bypassed to allow me to use the amp/speakers i already have! Any suggestions/ideas would be brilliant as im going around in circles a bit at the moment. Many thanks James

I have now looked at a few and the Roberts 63i looks to tick all my boxes and is £310 does anyone have any hands on experience of this? Any good or not?

Thanks for the help so far.

James

I'd second that - but also consider whether you want video streaming alongside music ; for that money you can have both

As luck would have it, we have an eight-way test of media streamers in our next issue, which is in the shops/available to download on Thursday!

 

You may have to forego the DAB radio aspect though  - but with all the DAB stations also available on internet radio, you may be able to live with that.
