Denon TU-1800DAB

By Chris Stevens

While DAB itself may fall short of the expectations of hardcore audio enthusiasts, this tuner is one of the best we've used

Denon TU-1800DAB

This tuner isn't new, but its 'street price' has fallen to £200 and new competitors have come along to challenge it. It also seems to have had one or two minor changes to its design. The basic set-up remains the same, though
