In fact, the SuperConnect could well be your go-to alternative to a traditional multiple-box separates hi-fi system, such is the raft of functions on display and the level of sound produced. The SuperConnect Stereo is a certified five-star performer in pretty much every department, serving up superb sound alongside sleek retro-modern looks and a whole raft of features and connectivity options. We loved the original Revo SuperConnect internet radio (below), but nearly a decade later, the stereo upgrade has taken things to new heights. Needs a designated return button for navigating the display menu Read the full review: Roberts Revival iStream 3 Either way, it's a hugely enjoyable listen at this price. The Stream 94L is arguably better value and sounds a touch fuller, but it's easy to imagine that many may prefer the smart looks of the Revival iStream 3. There's also great rhythmic agility and a really nice sense of sonic organisation that makes Roberts' effort stand out from the crowd. Sonically, the iStream 3 boasts rich sound with a slight focus on the midrange – essential when listening to the vocal-heavy medium of radio. While it might look retro, this is very much a modern-day wireless that ticks all the right boxes. Not short on listening options, you get built-in access to Tidal, Amazon Prime Music and Deezer (providing you have subscriptions to these services, of course), in addition to the features of the Stream 94L listed above. The iStream 3 has been around since 2018, but even so, it remains one of the best internet radios we've ever tested. The Stream 94L is a better performer for its price Read the full review: Tivoli Model One Digital Generation 2 It's pricey, but if that doesn't bother you, the Tivoli Model One Digital Generation 2 is a splendid and fully-featured wi-fi radio. Hard rock through to high-energy rap and bright-eyed pop, the Tivoli seems to relish everything that comes its way, delivering tracks with a crisp, enthusiastic presentation. We're not joking when we use the term "sonic finesse", either. Its footprint is roughly that of a paperback (rather than a bigger shoe box, say), it is thoroughly likeable and it could have come straight from a cover shoot with Livingetc. This little gem scored five stars across the board in our testing, not just overall but for build, features and a clean, engaging sound – leaving us with no option but to hand it a What Hi-Fi? Award for the best DAB radio over £200. At its core, the Tivoli is a wi-fi radio, with DAB+/FM taking the reins and now, Chromecast, AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth connectivity its valuable passengers. The Model One Digital Generation 2 looks for all the world like a "normal" radio, complete with fabric grille, antenna and real-wood finish, but don't be fooled. At an unchanged price of £200, this remains arguably the best sound-per-pound internet radio we've tested in a long time. The Stream 94L’s smooth, unfussy nature masks just how talented a performer it is, especially in its ability to sound so fluid and capable with anything you play through it. The Stream 94L is an immensely enjoyable listen, with voices coming through with crystal clarity, the sense of rhythm conveyed expertly, and delivery coming through as punchy, detailed and dynamically expressive throughout. Performance, thankfully, matches stylistic panache. The full-colour display is large and readable at a distance, and it's easy to use with the radio's buttons and the designated smartphone app. The Stream 94L is an undeniably smart-looking unit, flaunting its excellent build quality throughout that smooth, attractive design. Better still, its considerable talents as an FM, DAB and internet radio remain the standard to beat, too. The Roberts Stream 94L is the latest iteration of an award-winning radio (the Stream 94i and 93i have also been multiple prize-winners in the past), with this model's updates including a new logo and a faster processor as well as built-in Amazon Music, Deezer support and Spotify Connect.
