Philips NP3700

Zitat: Possibly the best dedicated audio streamer around for less than £200, but it isn’t perfect

Zitat: The good: + The Philips NP3700 features an integrated Wi-Fi connection, making it easy to hook up to your home network and connect to other digital devices. It´s capable of streaming music straight from the internet and via radio stations, and you´ll be able to play music through the integrated speakers, or connect to your stereo or headphones. The speakers offer 2 x 5W of amplification. It´s not overly loud, but sound quality is reasonable, and it´s more than good enough for listening to music in the kitchen or bedroom. The Philips NP3700 also offers a large colour LCD touchscreen, making it easy to navigate through radio stations or for controlling music, whatever the lighting conditions. You´ll be able to stream a variety of different formats, and you can even look at photographs or stream videos. Along with integrated Wi-Fi, the Philips NP3700 also offers a wired Ethernet connection, along with a headphone socket on the rear for hooking up speakers or for those who want to stream music without disturbing other people in the house. There´s also a port for hooking up an iPod dock. If you´re not happy with streaming your own music or the internet radio, you can also connect to Napster on the Philips NP3700, offering access to over 10 million tracks. The bad: - There aren´t many things to complain about here. Only the combined 10W of audio power may put some people off, but as long as your expectations are realistic, it´s a great choice. The Philips NP3700 is an impressive device if you want to start streaming music around your home, offering a great way of accessing internet radio stations or Napster. It´s easy to use, offers a host of decent features and the integrated speakers mean you can use it where space is restricted.

Zitat: Ordentliche Leistung, durchweg geringe Verzerrungen, erstaunlich glatter Lautsprecher-Frequenzgang. Der Tuner könnte empfindlicher sein, aber oberhalb 400 µV empfängt er sehr stör arm. Geringer Stromverbrauch, wenn Sie die Anlage durch längeres Drücken der Standby-Taste in den Tiefschlaf versetzen.

Zitat: Der NP3700 mit seinen 2 x 5 Watt sorgt mindestens in der Küche für einen ausreichenden Musikteppich. Bei einem Verkaufspreis von 320 Euro dürfte man hier allerdings etwas mehr erwarten.

Zitat: + Einfache Bedienung dank Touchscreen + Umfangreiche Ausstattung - Klirren bei hoher Lautstärke
