DAB kitchen radio - recommendations ?

[HawkEye244]

Unlikely I'll get much in the way of feedback on this one but we'll see.

I want to get a dab radio for the kitchen but with usb functionality, so that I can listen to music on a usb stick.

The usb function is not especially common with radios and I wonder if that is because of Bluetooth, which allows one to stream from a device directly to the radio bypassing the need to use a usb stick - still it would be nice to have one as I've a fair bit of music collected.

Feedback welcome.

You're right ... not much feedback

Pure have USB sockets but they may just be for charging, not sure.

Can find radios with aux input via 3.5 jack. Is that workable?
I have an Akai AR 110 radio that Mrs Secure used to use that is a clock radio and it has SD card, USB and 3.5 inputs but it is not DAB; it is FM/ AM only.
From France, I believe.

If you are happy with internet radio rather than DAB, then a wifi speaker will do what you want, if you have some sort of tablet or iPod etc as a source. eBay is full of used Jongo T series which are pretty good. I have a pair of t6 in a room where I can't be bothered to install a hifi - the sound is on par with a <£700 hifi setup.
