Looking For Internet Radio Recommendations

SAngean is known for their tuners I believe.

I have a Sangean am/fm table radio. It was reasonable cost, has good build quality and aesthetics, and has the most sensitive tuner I have ever seen on a portable device. Sound is also good for a table radio similar to Tivoli, etc.

I would look to Sangean as a good source of tuner products in general until I find somethingto the contrary.

I have seen Grace Gear in Best Buy and on Amazon. Does not strike me as particularly well built in all cases, but not sure. Reminds me more of typical consumer grade junk at a glance but I could be wrong.

For internet radio, I like the Squeezebox Touch and have two.

I can't declare it's so, but I wouldn't be surprised if within the different case work, the guts of these particular tuners, the Grace and the Sangean aren't the same.

Could be. Dunno. I am a Sangean fan though so far and have not had the honor of trying Grace, though I looked at their network player that comes in at a lower price point than teh SB Touch back when I was looking to replace my Roku's, and was not impressed, at least on paper and from reviews as well as based on looks.

With digital devices like these, features and support are a big part of teh value proposition. The bigger names like Logitech seem to have the inside track these days though Grace and others may come in cheaper. Who knows with an external DAC, teh Grace digital network player might sound just fine though it does look cheap compared to SB Touch and appears to be priced accordingly.

The similarities seem to be limited to one set of components, not the entire lines.

I've got a nice Sanyo unit sitting in storage you can have for a decent price. Think it was about $200 new.
