Here is what people are saying about the Sony XDRF1HD HD Radio
 "just right" | 2009-11-14 |

I'm a confirmed old tube type golden ear audiophile and have had the best exotic and esoteric equipment money can buy. I have to say that the negative reviewers have had a defective unit or have a defective ear. This unit is perfect in every sense of the functionality and the performance is fantastic. The lack of an optical digital output is not a meaningful criticism as it would only be a marketing ploy rather than a sound enhancement, somewhat akin to "digital speakers"
Try it you will love it. |

For the price you can't go wrong. It pulls in even regular stations exceedingly well.
As a former US Navy electonics technician I am amazed at just how good it is. |

Even if you are of the "Anti-HD" crowd, you will like this tuner. The sensitivity and selectivity of it is nothing short than stellar. I am able to hear stations next to locals that no other tuner I own can receive. The audio quality is superb, with no noise, hiss, or hum from the unit when tuned into a station broadcasting dead air (hello WDOM). Some important notes about the tuner to know.
1)The tuner does not store it's memory for more than 2-3 minutes after AC power is disconnected. There is a fix on the internet that involves replacing the "memory storage" capacitor. Just be careful you don't get one of too high value and destroy the power supply.
2)You can't directly enter a frequency. Simple fix for this is to save some presets scattered throughout the band. Its quicker to preset jump and tune from that point.
3)You can't disable the HD blending without modification. This is troublesome for when you are listening to a station where the chief doesn't care about the HD signal and it sounds like garbage.
4)It does put out a lot of heat. A minor fan modification may actually help this. Do not cover the top vent holes or put it in a cubby when running it.
Those notes aside, this is truly a radio guy's dream tuner, and an amazing performer.
Well worth the skimpy price for it.
Also a quick note: it has been noted some HD radios do AM stereo. This one does not.

This is the best and best valued product I've bought in a long time.
I'm a newbie audiophile. I've recently put together a stereo system and was lacking a radio to listen to NPR and classical music station. This is my first HD radio. As promised, this Sony HD Radio tuner provides great sound quality as every other reviewers has stated. The difference between HD radio and regular radio couldn't be bigger.
Please note that this is not a standalone radio but a wonderful little tuner that would go into your receiver/preamps.
[...] is a handy website. It provides a list of HD channels, and also has a list of consumer products with HD radio capability. As you'd see, most other HD radio capable products cost $200-$4000(in HomeTheatre system). So, at this price, it's truly a bargain!
Pros:
**** Sound quality
**** Easy to use
***** Reasonable price
*** Slick looking
Some drawback:
*** Channel memory gone if unplug(item has to be left plugged in)
* No capability to enter station frequency directly (must use Up/Down)
* It takes 1sec-2sec to "link" the HD station (even in preset channels) |

| "A Good Buy!" | 2009-11-05 |

| For the money, the Sony is hard to beat. It works really well. There is no comparison between an older FM receiver that I have, and the new Sony HD tuner. It picks up stations that my old one couldn't manage. Most stations are crisp and clear. Some stations truly approach "CD quality." A couple of minor negatives. The unit does get warm, so allow for plenty of ventilation. Secondly, the display stays lighted when the unit is turned off. We'll see about "durability" but I expect it to last. Sony generally carries a good reputation. When it's all said and done, I'm looking forward to spending a lot of time with it! |
