Hi Jim,I have the original Sonata and the quality of the sound is terrible. It's even worse listening to it via the Hi Fi.
Maybe this podcast was done using the old one. They should recall these old Sonata's and dump them.Out of curiosity, does the new Sonata Plus still have it's speaker covered in cloth, it's so so old fashioned.

Hi Jackie,I listened to a short podcast from the BWBF website and although the speech wasn't perfect, it wasn't bad. I don't quite know how old this podcast is so I wonder if the speech engine has improved since the piece was recorded.What's your opinion on this? Cheers.

Frankly, I would hate to be without it as DAB is non-existent where we live and, for what it is worth, the quality of the Sonata is way better than DAB in anycase. Enjoy!

I'm just looking for some feedback on user experience. I'm really looking forward to getting it set up and interfaced with my hi-fi system.
