With so much new construction in my neighborhood, even my mighty Magnum Dynalab tuner could no longer pull in WQXR-NY. Yes, it's only a 710 watt station but there was a time when it was no problem. Now, forget stereo, let alone a clean mono signal most of the time.
I tried a bunch of different antennas and even looked to get the Dynalab upgraded but was told by an engineer to just go internet radio.
I was loath to retire my beautiful sounding tuner but was out of solutions.
So, I rolled the dice on the WR 10.
The WR10 -FM is a very nicely built unit for the money and the ability to listen to stations from all over the world is a hoot!
I'm listening to a great classical Portland station as I write this in New York City. Really, when was the last time you were excited about radio : )
I am taking Mr. Armstongs advice ( see his review above) and have just ordered a Cambridge Audio- refurbished DacMagic 100. I am sure that will make a huge improvement in the sound.
The WR10-FM on it's own has good detail and listening to a" station" with a 48KHz sample rate it doesn't sound pushed or artificial and has surprisingly good tight bass, just heard some nice timpani drums as I was writing, BUT overall it's a bit thin/dry- compared to my Magnum, but that's not really a fair comparison. The Dynalab, new, cost 10 times as much!
More on the sound after the DAC arrives.
I will probably upgrade the power supply/wall-wart on the tuner as well, $49.00 for an IFI unit.
The trouble shooting guide in the manual is not very helpful ( I had to re-set back to factory setting before it would lock to my router, a fix not mentioned?) but the folks at Ocean Digital are helpful and quick to return e-mails.
I strongly recommend this unit.
It punches way above it's weight and has a lot of flexibility, all in all a very handsome, svelte package.
For under 150 bucks there is nothing to think about - just buy it!
PART 2 - 30 days later...
I have added a Cambridge Audio refurbished Dac Magic 100 ($136) My vintage McCormack DAC won't decode a 48KHZ signal. I also replaced the Tuners wall wart with an IFI AC/DC 5v power supply ($49.99)
The sound ,now, is nothing short of SPECTACULAR.
All in, the WR10 PLUS the the two upgrades: total cost was only $330.
That is a very low price to pay for a unit that now sounds stunning, this coming from a Magnum Dynalab owner.
If you have a modern DAC this set up is even more price friendly.
At this point I can not recommend this unit strongly enough!
This just in 12/10/19 - Added a Schiit Audio Loki EQ unit just to give it a bit of the warmth I was missing from my old Magnum Dynalab- It sounds ridiculously good now.

OK, I need to get a life. And ,no, I do not work for Ocean Digital or any of their affiliates.
I was running out of room on my larger Surge X power conditioner/protector so I bought a smaller Surge X SX-1120 -RT
I found one, mint shape on e-bay, $95 free ship, boxed like new. MSRP $799.!!
Cannot recommend this company enough, please buy one if you don't have already.
All the wall warts and accessories now have their own clean, safe power.
NOW this little tuner sounds SUMPTUOUS - really breathtaking. Just heard some harpsichord, ( Linn Classical) almost fell off the chair!
Plugged into the Surge , when a quite passage occurs you'd think someone killed the amp. More air and vitality too and it's safe from harm.
Makes a great Christmas gift.......
Happy listening!!!!

Unit has been on 24/7 since I bought it in 2019. Absolutely bullet proof. I now have it hooked up to a Kora -Hermes NOS/Tube -DAC , with a Monarchy Audio -Digital Interface Processor ( Re-Clocker) just stunning! I have it "tuned" to French Classic, internet radio.
Again, hooked up to a quality outboard DAC and you will have one of the best sounding/least expensive digital sources ever!
I'm buying my nephew the Ocean Digital unit with the built in CD player so he can start building a low cost/high performance hi-fi system for himself.
These units out of the box sound very good to begin with. Add a pair of self powered speakers and you have a great office-desk top/guest bedroom/garage/laundry room, etc system.
Just buy it!!!

Simplicity
Just received this unit today. I was surprised that the warranty seal was torn, maybe a refurbished unit, although the description did not mention that. Still, it looks like new. It's my third item from that brand. Plays as well as the others, great sound with an equalizer as bonus. . Setup is straightforward. Thousands of radio stations from around the world without having to fumble with a tablet or the phone. Press a button and it plays - that simple. Let's hope it lasts like the others so i don't have to fight a warranty claim because of the broken seal.
