After a few months I have to describe the unit as unsatisfactory.
Hangs up every now and then. A new installation does nothing. Switching off the unit and switching it on again is a bit of a hassle. I would not buy this device again.Good sound quality for such a "small" box
Pro
- Good sound quality
Contra
- Use with my mediaU and USB not exactly easy.
- USB only possible with old FAT32 USB2 sticks

Great device with LINE output!
Good opportunity to replace the FM tuner with this all-rounder
Pro
- LINE output
- Internet radio

The constant system crashes are annoying
I would not buy this device again. Every other day the software hangs (message: no signal!) and the device has to be switched off completely and then switched on again (booted). Seems to be an immature product. I am therefore not surprised that the manufacturing company Telestar Digital GmbH has not existed since 2025. Website is deactivated, helpline out of service. Ergo: No more manufacturer support for this device!
Pro
- Design
- Easy to operate
- Sound quality / equaliser
Contra
- System crashes
- Buttons on remote control too small
Great device!
Everything written.
Would buy the same device againPro
- DAB+ and Internet and CD player available, all with remote control
- Equipped for the FM-less future
- Well suited for the bedroom due to remote control
Contra
- Buttons/text on remote control and in operating instructions very small!

Good universal appliance
With the EQ preset "Pop" even usable bass. Solid workmanship. Slightly larger (as expected), but for good sound (especially bass) you also need some volume. Operation is also OK. Good display of station/song information (DAB+).
Pro
- Decent sound for the device category
- CD player
- Large colour display
- LAN connection (RJ45)
- Antenna removable/replaceable
- Remote control (IR)
Contra
- Somewhat large/bulky
Ideal for the office
Pro
- Prepared for anything.
- Player great for CDs from the 90s and 00s

Pro
- Well programmable

Super

tin can sound, internet disconnected after 2 minutes or 2 hours, bluetooth not working really don't buy this crap man
Super sound quality - simple operation - beautiful design
Bitchy but actually problem-free
The device seems to me like my wife: sometimes bitchy, but if you adjust to it, easy to handle.
I have been using "the device" for 1 week now. The look and feel are right, the device offers all the functions that are important to me (DAB+, web radio, USB, CD, Bluetooth, AUX).
The device also masters all these functions, but it is possible to cause the device to crash (freeze, no reaction to inputs) if the buttons are manipulated quickly, which then results in a restart (switch off).
The software of the device is not the fastest, but I can live with it. The reception is beyond reproach and the operation is simple and self-explanatory in view of the many functions, i.e. possible without a manual (which is included).
At the moment, I would buy the device again.Pro
- Functionality
- Equalizer
- simple operability
Contra
- Operating system speed
- Operating system "freeze
Strangely, only limited reception of DAB stations. The device never finds the WLAN. troublesome

I would no longer buy
The device does not live up to the manufacturer's claims. Although technically and sound-wise convincing, the device is not usable in terms of DAB and Internet radio reception. I am considering returning it.
Pro
- Sound
Contra
- DAB reception very poor, even SRF programmes keep hanging up when searching for a connection
- Internet reception via WLAN poor, hang up again and again when searching for a connection

Great buy
Need the part in the basement with a lan connection. Excellent setup, set up in 15 min without explanations. W-Lan not tried, in the basement it is difficult.
Price-performance ratio is really sensational. With this device, a party with 20 people is
feasible!Pro
- Very quickly set up
- great sound
- Sensational for bass lovers
- Housing well finished
- Many setting options
- App Comparable Spotify (also others)
Contra
- Clunky, needs a lot of space
- Antenna Digital a little shabby
