hi all,
I hope this is the right forum... since 2 years I own a Clint Freya F1 DAB+internet radio (http://www.ebolt.hu/common/big_txt/clinfreya1bk.pdf), and I'm happy with it. Unfortunately I have some problem with it since a few days, I suspect some internal power wire is partially broken, so I started to look for a replacement. But this particular unit is no longer available.
What I found very useful with the Clint F1 was that it can also run on rechargeable batteries, so I could just unplug it from power and take with me into the garden, to the bathroom, etc. It seems there are not many devices around that do offer this feature (and are also available in Switzerland, where I live).
On the must list for a device is DAB+, FM and internet radio, and it must work via WLAN (WPA2). Very nice would be the feature to play mp3 from my NAS (I own a Synology), which was available on the Clint F1 (playlist support was not so good on it though). Also nice to have (and not available on my Clint) would be Spotify and a Smartphone app, but these two are optional. Sound quality of course matters too, but need not be top, as it's mainly a device for my nightstand. It would be nice if it supported stereo also (the Clint was mono, but you could attach a second, little speaker for stereo).
Any recommendations would be welcome.. thanks in advance!
Andy
