Review on Stream Your Favorite Tunes With AUNA KR-200 SI Internet Kitchen Radio - Spotify Support, Remote Control, And More! by Leonard Henry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

broadband and powerful speaker, UPnP/DLNA support, FM and Internet radios, FLAC! lossless support, nice look and feel

I've been choosing lots of radio sets for the kitchen for a long period of time and have reviewed many models of many brands. Finally, I am very glad that my choice fell on this model.Surprisingly it has very good and powerful sound for such dimensions (and such price ;-). Of course, it is not a high-end system but it reproduces sound well almost on the entire audible range.All the declared functions/features of this radio set work properly, I mean that: - it has a really broadband speaker which reproduces very adequate and powerful (if necessary) sound on the whole frequency range; - it has a FM tuner which works well (at least in my country ;-); - it has a very big list of Internet radio stations (it was able to find, determine and classify even stations for my region, Belarus); - UPnP/DLNA mode works well and the radio set was able to find my Synology NAS in my home network and connected to it on the first try; - WiFi modem works well both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency ranges and connected instantly to my ZyXEL Keenetic Ultra II; - surprisingly, besides MP3 format, it "understands" FLAC lossless format and I don't need to convert some parts of my favorite music to MP3; - the radio set can auto-check and update the firmware via the Internet.Moreover, it looks good and harmonizes with the interior of my kitchen (please, see the photos attached).Installation of the device is very simple in my view and I spent about half an hour to install and connect everything.One drawback of this device among the bunch of advantages is that it does not support "Cyrillic" alphabet. The point is that I am Russian and Belorussian speaking and we use "Cyrillic" alphabet to give names for some of the songs. But in my opinion, it is not a big issue because it was not difficult for me to transliterate them. BTW, I hope the Berlin Brands Group Inc. will take this point into account and the "Cyrillic" alphabet will appear in the future firmware for this device.And my advice for the Berlin Brands Group Inc. - this device should have higher price :-) because it works better than some devices on the market, which cost 3-4 times more expensive.
