Radiosophy HD100 AM/FM HD Table Radio Review

There exist several HD capable tuners still on the market, but those require an audio amplifier and speakers of some description. The benefit to sound fidelity using that approach would be emphatic; however, there are times and places where just a simple radio with integrated speakers is all that's necessary. The Radiosophy HD100 was one of only a select few HD capable AM and FM table radios available for purchase. HD Radio is so called not for its audio fidelity but its hybrid digital approach to offer more content on the same frequency in the way of subchannels. The Radiosophy HD100's box's claims of FM HD being CD quality and AM being near FM quality are blatant falsehoods. There's no way, even with the best of processing, that HD radio will ever outperform a well-processed analog radio station using high quality source material (read: uncompressed music). The biggest claim to fame that HD radio does achieve is the lack of FM stereo hiss, but that's a moot point when an FM tuner with proper noise filtering and sensitivity is used. The performance of this radio leaves much to be desired. HD on AM is inutile: this radio is incapable of locking onto the HD digital signal on all but the absolute strongest of stations. Don't expect to use it for receiving AM HD unless you're practically sitting atop the radio station's antenna. Also, as is typical for most of these cheap HD capable radios, the included AC to DC adapter outputs such an absurd amount of interference that AM is a wasteland of noise. The audio fidelity is mediocre and stereo separation poor, the headphone jack has an irritating power supply induced hum, and a most puzzling popping and crackling sound presents itself at random when listening using its speakers or headphones. Either this was a lemon or they really are this bad! *Because this is always how things go, I discovered that the "direct audio samples" slide has a typo after uploading the video. I'd be interested in learning who will be the first to discover it. It'll also serve as a test to see who reads lengthy video descriptions end to end.
