I bought this particular box to take on holiday as I could plug my MD Walkman in as well as play CD's. However, the Digital optical link is OUT only (REALLY DAFT), so you have to use an analog stereo-minijack lead to hook up the MD. Sound quality is poor, with low volume and no bass. CD sound is good though. It plays CDR/RW, but NOT mp3 CD compilations, which is a shame. If you just need good quality CD/Radio/Cassette playback the unit shouldn't disappoint.

The Goodmans GPS285DAB is basically a good portable system. People have complained about the problem with setting the volume. And it does take some practise to get the measure of it.

I bought this after having tried and returned two other DAB radio/CD players, one of which would not pick up any DAB stations and the other (a Goodmans) for constantly refusing to play CDs.

I would recommend this to anyone who wants a compact, reliable radio that can multi-task as a CD player and a cassette player. The sound quality is fine for day to day use eg in a kitchen and I have been able to pick up a good selection of digital stations, despite living in an area surrounded by trees and generally suffering from poor reception on my other non-digital radios. The volume control is easy to use. The only minor gripe is that the button ... Read More:
