The Pure Evoke Spot nicely combines DAB, FM and internet radio stations to give you more options than you could ever need. You can also use it as a Bluetooth speaker (which works well) and link your Spotify account (but not your Amazon Music or others).
The instruction leaflet is short on words, instead relying on diagrams, but fortunately it is all fairly straightforward with the setup wizard guiding you through. Internet connection relies on pressing the WPS button on your router, which is quite unusual, but does the job and saves you typing in the password..
All the DAB stations are listed for you, and you can scan through all the FM ones. Some of these are identified on the screen, some aren't but I suspect that is more down to the individual stations. There is a huge range of internet stations and podcasts which can be broken down by genre or location, or you can manually enter the name of one although this is a bit fiddly with the controls.
You can store up to ten DAB and ten FM stations although there are rather bizarrely only 4 preset buttons so to get to presets 6-10 you have to go through the menus. Up to 40 internet stations can be saved, not sure why the other 2 sources are so limited.
Its small size means you can have it perched beside you (assuming you are near a power socket as there is no battery option) which is just as well as there is no remote control. You can apparently use the UNDOK app but this requires the IP address from the settings menu and as mine just shows 0.0.0.0 I was unable to use the app (which I already had for another device).
This is a neat little unit, delivering good sound (with a basic bass/treble equaliser) from a huge range of available broadcasts.
