    http://www.productreview.com.au/p/insystem-dab.html - at least they've fixed the headphone out socket issue! Could be an cheap way to add DAB+ to your home theater/sound system

      fixed the headphone out socket issue

      The OW website is and was always wrong stating there was one. I have one of these, there is no headphone out socket. Great unit and perfect for my needs though as I don't use headphones

      • pull the lever on 13/01/2015 - 08:48

        Yep, my office works at Auburn had one in stock the other day - I opened the box to check if it has a headphone out socket and unfortunately, it didn't have one.

        • yojabbajabba on 13/01/2015 - 11:21

          Noooooooo!I might cancel that pick-up then. Not worth it if I can't amplify through my existing arrangement. :(

          Thanks for the heads up!

      If you don't mind a pocket DAB radio, I'm quite sure I saw one at Kmart for $19ish.

          That's exactly it! And I did see it for $9 in that same Kmart in Chermside as well. I just thought it was too cheap so I said $19 thinking that I remembered it wrongly. :)

    Are you sure this is instore only? It is listed on their website also for $15 with free delivery for me - 2128

      Try checking out, it'll add the shipping fee, and then it'll tell you it's out of stock.

    A few places including my local store with limited stock but mostly listed as out of stock at most other places.
    From the reviews. Unfortunately no batteries or headphone socket so your stuck with inbuilt speaker.

    DJ's seem to have an alternative at $30 AUD (+ shipping - not available at the stores I checked) which has headphone and line out:
    http://shop.davidjones.com.au/djs/en/davidjones/ecologic-4-d…

    Looks to be a brand mostly sold in the UK for 60-70 GBP.

    Seems to have decent reviews on amazon.co.uk (although the picture is slightly different) - http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B000X5HGOK

    • [Deactivated] on 13/01/2015 - 11:43

      • strangeloops66 on 13/01/2015 - 11:50

        And more useful for those that don't want a tiny, tinny sound. I'd pay $15 for those connections. You also get stereo with your FM radio with the DJ's product.

      This is an excellent bargain. It sells at $229 at TGG: http://www.thegoodguys.com.au/roberts-digital-radio-amfm-eco…

      Pity DJs have completely sold out of them. Don't bother trying.

      • Snakey Chook on 13/01/2015 - 13:25

        Confirmed, tried to do online order and received an error, presumably out of stock.

      Good luck buying that unit..
      I've tried on multiple occasions over a few months and it always fails at checkout.
      I think it's probably a phantom stock unit.

      Review from a lovely ol' chap. Note that the line out socket is just another 3.5mm analogue plug, so you'll still be relying on the DAC in the radio, so hopefully it's good.

    I've ordered local C&C (WA) in the hope that it is not cancelled, and I can find a stereo signal inside.
    Otherwise, bathroom or gift.

    Looks like no more C&C available here. I wish my local shop luck in finding one for me!

          Listeners can tune into digital radio in the five capital cities of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth now. Trial broadcast services are currently available in Canberra and Darwin. Repeaters have now been switched on in Redfern and Centerpoint in Sydney, Mt Mee in Brisbane and Central Park in Perth.

          If not, don't buy it.

        • jv on 13/01/2015 - 23:32

          @zzymurgy:

          don't buy it.

  • ozeebee on 13/01/2015 - 12:56

    Forgive my ignorance but how does this pickup digital signals?

    Does it need a wifi connection?

    • strangeloops66 on 13/01/2015 - 13:03

      Needs a receiver (which is what a radio is) and an antenna, similar to digital TV.

    • ESEMCE on 13/01/2015 - 13:03
      +1

      It's a radio..
      The antenna is built into the device.

      • ozeebee on 13/01/2015 - 13:12

        Sorry maybe my question was wrong.

        Does it mean it will only pickup signals within Australian stations right?

        It's not the same as internet radio like Tunein Radio where you can get hundreds of stations?
