'Designed to accept a DAB radio input'...
 
Well that's what it says on the blurb:-
http://planet.farnell.com/email/cpc/...july_11blp.htm

Anyone care to hazard a guess as to what it means?

Wonder what's new about it too - looks like all the other AS stuff I've
ever seen.

It means that there's a pair of phono sockets on the back, and a
corresponding button on the front, labelled "DAB".

It's "new" in that it has the "DAB" button!

An input labelled DAB to match a DAB receiver (maybe also sold by this mob.)

Right. Given they sell a combined DAB/FM tuner seems a bit pointless?

Yup, they should have labelled it "DAB/FM" ... but FM maybe sounded too
old hat ..

Maybe it's designed for the idiots who think DAB with low bitrates is better
than FM stereo.
It might transform the sound in a magical way!

Difficult to say, really. But I see it also has "Line inputs for
phono", so it could mean anything. Their grasp on technology seems
rather tenuous.

There's already an input labelled 'tuner'.

Methinks the marketing department have had their way again. ;-)

A 'de-bubbler' circuit?

Martian Noise Reduction?
