This radio is a beauty of a radio. It is constructed of solid walnut, not laminate. The rear of the unit has a sound hole you see on bass reflex speakers to deliver the deep bass. Setup was quick and easy. Navigation for finding, selecting and pre-setting stations required no instructions. The sound exceeded expectations for its small size. This radio doubles as a Bluetooth speaker for any BT device. The networking is superior by its support of Ethernet and dual band 5G bandwidth. This includes two fully adjustable and removable WiFi antennas on the back, when attached looks like a WiFi router to assure excellent reception. Bluetooth works flawlessly, Chromecast works great but occasionally disconnects and needs to be reconnected. The built in SiriusXM is amazing and displays album art 10x better than the Onnx radio built for SXM satellite use. Pandora, which like many support Chromecast and flawlessly displays album art and song information when launched using the Chromecast utility. Streaming Pandora via Bluetooth will also work, but like with any BT use, no album art nor song information will be displayed. Speaking of BT, this unit found my bluetooth adapter connected to my Yamaha sound system in the living room in the next room. This means I could operate this radio from my office and enjoy BT sound from my living room home entertainment system. The unit itself has jacks for an external CD player and anything using RCA cables. There is a USB port for thumb drives to play stored music. This unit is packed with features and integrates flawlessly with almost all media and other systems. It operates and sounds as classic and cute as it is solidly built. You will cherish this gem of a radio. Beware, GraceDigital puts out these unique radios for a limited time. These are hard to find and because of the solid genuine wood construction, this may be impossible to find years from now. Don’t wait! You will fall in love with this beauty.
NOTE ON THE PANDORA APP:
Recently there was an update for the Plus featuring Pandora integrated in the software. This is the best thing that could have happened!
Beware however the “thumbs up” and “thumbs down” feature is now available and works great. The big problem with this interactive feature is there is no way to know if there already is a thumbs up for that song. On the iOS app, an existing thumbs up shows a solid icon whereas the icon is “hollowed out” when it is NOT currently tagged. If you thumbs up an existing song, the icon will go from solid to hollow again meaning the thumbs up was reversed.
This radio app fails to correct this important detail so you may be thumbing up a song when in fact you’re undoing it. Thus is not like thumbing down a song because that feature insures that song never plays again while an un-flagged thumbs up means you never made a choice. It may play again and it may not.
