Hi All, I really appreciate your knowledge and advice in these forums! As I previously mentioned, I really enjoy internet radio and my old stand-alone Aluratek AIRMM01F gave up the ghost. The few remaining dedicated internet radios seem to be using very poor internal DACs and in my search for an inexpensive, higher-quality, external DAC it was suggested that I might want to check out the newer generation of network music players / streamers like the: Cambridge Audio NP30 Pioneer Elite N-50 Marantz NA7004 Denon DNP-720AE NAD C446 While I won't use their PC streaming or other functions, they all offer internet radio and this might be a viable alternative. Unfortunately, most reviews barely touch on the usability, functionality, or quality of the internet radio aspect of their performance. I'm most interested in the speed / readability of the display and the sound quality. I would also like to avoid a dependency on the Frontier Silicon Radio Portal as they seem not to pass artist, album, or track information in their streams to the Sangean WFT-1 and 2 other dependent radios I've used. As primarily an internet radio, which of these or others might you suggest? Thank you, djyas
