Cyrus DAB 8.0 Reviews

Cyrus has put some high-tech products into its distinctive 'singing shoebox' case over the years, but never before has it offered a DABtuner.In this case, the outstanding feature is the inclusion of an SD memory card

Built-in recording and pause/rewind features are brilliant, Pleasant to use

Sound is not quite as clear as it should be, Channels reversed on our digital output, FM best for non-critical listening

Despite the mild sonic shortcomings, this has plenty to recommend it to habitual radio listeners

High-quality DAB/FM tuner, but is the recording a little too fiddly for comfort?

A flexible tuner, with fine sound from high-quality broadcasts, but it's hampered by DAB quality �€" and that fiddly recording

Lots of DAB stations sound poor; menus are a bit quirky; rear-mounted SD card slot is awkward

Impressive with good DAB, even better with FM; SD card recording
