Denon s52dab hi fi with ipod dock
Denon dab radio and ipod dock This system from Denon does more than give you access to DAB radio or docking your ipod. This one also allows you to stream audio from your PC or MAC and it plays internet radio as it is WIFI enabled. It is also of a handy size, but it is not the most aesthetical system around, and they seem to have taken too many tips from Bose with the heavy bass sound.

Republic rating: 8/10

Price: Amazon UK £324

Sony CMTLX40I DAB micro system
Sony DAB micro system Perhaps to big for your nightstand, but perfect for the living/recreation room as it not only features DAB Radio and iPod dock, but also CD player. The Sony CMTLX40I delivers 10w of quality sound, making this DAB radio and iPod dock a good alternative at its price range.

Republic rating: 7/10

  3. Hi

    I am looking for a DAB alarm clock radio that can also play music from an i-phone. Are all the ones that are i-pod compatible also i-phone compatible??

    Many thanks

  4. […] The unit also comes with an integrated FM radio and an LED clock complete with alarm featuring snooze, wake-up, and sleep function. If there is one thing to fault the system with, its the lack of DAB radio functionality. If you are after DAB functionality you can check out our overview of iPod docks with DAB radio. […]
