IT Reviews have published a review of the new Cowon D2+ DAB portable media player. 'So, the real news with the D2+ DAB is the DAB radio. Once you've scanned Band III, you get the full range of BBC digital stations as well as a dozen or so commercial equivalents. Programme and track information is displayed on-screen, as you'd expect, though in a miniscule font. The exact DAB station mix will vary with the area you're in, but the quality is surprisingly good. OK the audio, compared with a good FM signal (FM is still provided here) is a bit like comparing MP3 with CD, but you'll get much less drop-off from DAB if you're in a car or train.
