4.5 out of 5 stars
Value for money: 5 out of 5 stars, "Recommended" Hi-Fi Choice found a lot to like in the iDecco, saying that it offered a good all-in-one solution for digital audio thanks to its comprehensive range of inputs, refined sound and neutral presentation. The remote is somewhat uncomfortable and switching the valve on produced some boominess, however, but there's not much more to complain about. |
