Question: how does it compare with the lower priced Grace tuner?
Document: I am ordering the Grace Digital which does have these features and as it ends up costs less. I will keep my fingers crossed that it pans out.
The Sangean WFT-1 Internet Radio is way, way, way over-priced. For $170.00, you can buy a Yamaha Receiver with outstanding sound quality, HDMI Ports, Video Ports, Sound Ports, Radio Tuner, Dolby Pro decoder, etc ,etc...now come on Sangean, for $200 Plus what are you really buying? Just a low end radio that's at the mercy of the quality of the bandwidth the internet radio stations are streaming at.
I replaced it with a Grace Digital GDI-IRBM20 to make sure that my amplifier was working and now I have audio. Sangean will fix the radio if I pay again to ship it back plus a check for $135. The Grace radio was only $185 so I will be throwing away the Sangean and buying another Grace radio. One of the great things about the Grace radio is that it has a built in speaker which helps when troubleshooting.
The Denon sounded tinny, flat and disjointed. Should Sangean offer the above-mentioned services this tuner would be a giant killer. Did I mention that the fit and finish is excellent and the design most pleasing.
This internet receiver worked well in our hifi system. It picked up the signal wirelessly from the internet. I found it easy to set up. I was disappointed not to get the bbc stations but I suspect this was the fault of the BBC rather than the tuner.
By being a permanent and fully integrated tuner within your home entertainment system, it eliminates the need to fuss with your PC, tablet or other separate device in order to obtain great quality reproduction of almost any commercial radio station in the world. I'm very happy with it.
It is exactly what I was looking for. True the FM antenna is inadequate in weak signal areas and there is no way to attach an upgraded antenna (would be a nice enhancement later) but I was able to set up all the FM stations via their internet radio counterpart. Love this tuner!
After a month of ownership, I have had absolutely no trouble with this tuner. Those who have experience with internet radios will understand that this is a high compliment! The WFT-1 gives an impression of excellent quality, and its performance--so far--has been stable and reliable. This is a high-end product, and I think it is worth the money.
Having done this, reception and sound quality of FM seems to come as close as possible to the HDT-1's tuner. Although of course, only FM analog. With the HDT-1, it was not uncommon to get a perfect digital signal even when the signal strength meter on the analog subchannel from that station was not full strength.
The Sangean WFT-1 was a real surprise that surpassed my expectations. right out of the box the tuner's sound was rich and full with depth and detail of sound. It did not sound digital at all, but more like analog. That is saying a lot for a Wi-Fi tuner under $250. There is, however, a trade-off, at this time you cannot access services such as Pandora, Rhapsody, etc.
Answer: Funny you should ask............before I bought the Magnum Dynalab MD807 (which I love!) I ordered the Grace from Amazon. I was completely unimpressed -- it did the job, but the Sangean seemed to be better built and more functional. That was about two years ago, so I can't give a detailed reaction. But I repacked it in its original box and returned it to Amazon the very next day after I received it. No loss!
