Product Information

Once you own such a radio, all you need to do is turn it on and let it search the available radio stations so you can choose and listen to your preferred programme. Sound quality: You can expect a clearer and fuller sonic image than with FM. The quality increases along with the transmission frequency (k/Bit).

Using this separate bit of kit to do one specific job makes for better sound quality. There’s a real musicality here that can get lost on lesser players, with organic, fluid interplay between instruments. Although the CXC is restricted to doing one thing – it only reads CDs, not SACDs or MP3 CDs – it does that one thing very well. Those who already own an amplifier and have more to spend should consider the Technics SL-G7000M2 as well. Still, it’s worth noting that the Pure Chronos 2 was probably intended for use on your bedside table, rather than on an office desk. There are a number of features built-in that make it a perfect bedside companion, including the in-built USB charging port for your phone, and an intelligent light sensor. The sensor automatically adjusts your display brightness, so you aren’t distracted by the device during the night.Performance-wise, we found the Pure Chronos relatively easy to use. If you’re new to the world of DAB radio, then you might have a slightly harder time figuring out how everything works. That tends to be the case with systems that include a lot of extra features, like the Pure Chronos 2.

There’s a chance that the FM signal in the UK will be switched off in the future in favour of DAB, so if you buy an FM-only radio it could become obsolete. One of the most compact options in the Pure Evoke series, the Evoke C-D4 is a sensational all-in-one music system for CDs and digital radio. Setting up your Bluetooth connection so that you can wirelessly stream music is simple and straightforward. And you’ll have no problem working the CD player system too. We begin with a CD, The National’s High Violet. There does seem to be plenty of power here; Terrible Love is allowed to open the record with its alternately plodding then racing rhythmic motion, never feeling lightweight or feeble.There’s more to the Tenor than just looks though—the radio has lots of features including internet radio which gives you a huge choice of things to listen to.

So, how does the Pure Chronos CD measure up overall? We think it’s a nifty piece of radio kit, particularly for those who don’t want to let their CD collection go-to-waste. While there are nicer CD players out there from Pure, like the Pure Evoke music system, the Chronos is more affordable, and great for fitting into compact spaces.Digital radios, also known as DAB+ (Digital Audio Broadcasting Plus), work by transmitting digital radio signals instead of analog signals, as is the case with traditional FM radios. In other words, radio stations transmit their programmes digitally. Beyond pale in the face of PMPs loaded up with lossless music files. Both the size of the discman and the need for carrying around CDs is just too impractical. Besides, some of these players sound brilliant - https://www.whathifi.com/best-buys/portable/best-portable-music-players We are always impartial in our testing and ensure we hear every CD player at its optimum – connected to the appropriate kit and placed on a sturdy and level surface. We'll use them in their best use case with different partnering amplifiers and speakers, as well as play plenty of discs in different genres of music through them. Naturally, we give them plenty of listening time (and time to run in) too. Additional features: In addition to sound, Bluetooth radios with DAB+ technology can transmit images, information regarding the station, title or artist, and even videos, if the station allows for it.
