We currently have a Klipsche ipod dock that is brilliant, compact with brilliant sound quality but really miss having a radio in the Kitchen.

Looking for a decent ipod dock with a DAB radio budget is currently about £170 currently looking at a mini hifi such as the Sony CMT-MX550i

Any other decent sounding compact option out their that I might not have seen. I have listened to the Sony and it seemed pretty good.

Has to be DAB as the FM radio reception is pretty poor where we live, DAB seems fine.

Grundig?

I liked my intempo thingy, £30 sh off of ebay, now for sale and everything! Since I went Logitech and wifi.

I’ve got a Roberts Sound 66 – sound is very good, no problems with reception – £122 from Amazon Linky

Why not keep your current dock if you like it- and get an iPod touch. Then you can use a radio app over wifi. That’s what I do

Pure Chronos iDock, sound quality is average but it’s OK for the kitchen and cheap.

The Pure Contour 100Di looks nice though and has more power!

i use a radio app on my ipod which is plugged into my docking station everyday

Or the idea above is pretty good. Internet radio offers much more choice than DAB.

I have the Pure Oasis in the Kitchen and my Daughter plays
her I pod through the headphone socket of the I pod that
plugs into the Aux in on the Pure Oasis.

Brilliant and flexible Radio for a One speaker radio.

I use a Yamaha DAB Mini unit with a set of Monitor Audio speakers in our kitchen but that will put your budget up to around £300

Slight thread hijack, but what’s the iPod app that gets dab radio? I have a touch and went to the app store but couldn’t find anything obvious? Cheers

I liked my intempo thingy,

We got one of those (reconditioned). I love it – but after googling why it seems to freeze every now and again I notice it seems to have a common problem with the power supply. On the plus side – cheap as chips and sound is great. I dont have great hopes for it’s longevity.

TuneIn.

Although technically it’s internet radio.

Cheers Jamie, downloading it now 🙂

Another vote here for Roberts – I’m listening to the bigger brother of the one suggested by bbAardvark – (link) – as I type this and its certainly one of my better purchases – and it can be had for about £175 if you shop around.

Dock + tunein +1

No reception issues, no outlay on radio. Just make sure you have wifi, otherwise your data will be eaten up in no time.

Current dock won’t charge an iphone 4 so I presume it won’t charge an ipod touch either am I correct.

Sorry, as ever I came a bit late to this thread. I would strongly recommend listening to a Vita Audio unit. Radio, iPod dock on the more expensive ones, excellent sound and unlike some, not ugly. . Not cheap but I don’t regret it.
