1. It doesn't seem to have a real time clock - every time it is power-cycled, the Date and Time have to be re-entered. (Even though it can be configured to get time from FM, DAB or Internet, I was not able to get it to work). 2. After a Software Update, it resets the volume to Max Volume, This is not very user friendly. 3. Most annoying issue is that whenever it loses internet connectivity, say due to low Wi-Fi signal, it does not remember which WiFi network was selected before. As a result the user has to manually select the desired network and go through the network wizard setup again!. Until then, the internet radio is "hung", and it won't let the user change mode, say to play FM radio, until its search for a network times out (which is a very long time). Not sure other users have the same experience. If so I hope Revo can address these "inconveniences" in a software update. Overall I enjoy listening to the SuperConnect and would rate it a "4".

I eventually decided to purchase the Revo SuperConnect, in the hope that it would be able to hold a Wi-Fi connection better. It occasionally loses connection, but it is now infrequent and to that end I am satisfied.
Overall it is a good radio. It seems to be well constructed and should last a very long time. The screen is easy to use and the menu is intuitive. It was easy to hook up to my Wi-Fi network. It comes with a remote, but you can also operate everything directly from the radio itself.
Using the radio/remote, one can browse (cumbersomely) the internet radio stations, and play Spotify (which I do not personally use). There are some presents you can save on the radio which you can program to play as your alarm for example. Compared to the Grace radio, It's not as good because you have less options on what you can play from the radio itself (no Pandora, no Iheart radio, ...) what that means I that you cannot listen to those stations on the Revo without the use of a second device (tablet or phone).
To listen to Pandora, Iheart or whatever else , you need to use the Bluetooth connection on a phone/tablet.. You can do this with individual aps (ie Pandora ap). Works fine, but remember that since you need a tablet/phone to play those stations, you cannot have them as presents on the Revo to use as a wake up station for example.
There is also a Revo ap which you can use from your tablet or phone to operate most of the controls on the radio. With the ap, you can browse internet radios (much easier than from the radio itself), create presets, and play music through the blue tooth player.
Sound wise, it's fine...but do not think it's significantly better than the Grace radio. I would call these about even.
So overall it's a good radio, but I don't think it's worth the $400 they want. The Grace radio is a much better value for most people. The only time I would recommend the Revo is if your router is in a distant location, in which case the Revo has a better antenna to hold the connection.

ACHTUNG: nach dem Software update gehen alle Einstellungen, Senderspeicher etc. verloren. Außerdem steht witzigerweise die Lautstärke auf volle Pulle. Also nach dem Einschalten am besten auf "Aux in" oder "Music Player" oder "Bluetooth" schalten, und sofort die Lautstärke runterdrehen.
Damit Internet Radio auch problemlos läuft war bei mir eine Entsperrung des Revo an meiner FritzBox notwendig. Diese hat den Internetzugang des Revo standardmäßig (temporär?) gesperrt, so daß das Radio zwar im Wlan angemeldet war, jedoch keinen Zugriff auf das Internet und damit auf Internet Radio hatte. Die Einstellung ist in der FritzBox unter "Internet --> Filter" zu finden.
Der Revo Support hat mir innerhalb von 12 Stunden geantwortet und mir genau das vorgeschlagen: zu checken, ob mein Router den Zugang blockiert. Damit lagen sie richtig. Großes Lob dafür!
Jetzt bin ich sehr zufrieden. Ich hoffe, ich konnte einigen Käufern helfen, die so wie ich drei Tage lang enttäuscht zurücksenden wollen... :-D.
Nun zu den Eigenschaften des Revo SuperConnect:
Ich habe das "klassische" Design gewählt, also Walnuß/Silber. Wunderschön und edel, sieht überall gut aus. Wollte zuerst das mit dem schwarzen Gitter, das war aber deutlich teurer.. jetzt gefällt mir das silberne so gut, daß ich froh bin, es gewählt zu haben.
Der Klang ist wunderbar neutral, klar und offen, dazu mit einem wirklich angenehmen, kernigen Bass. Nachrichten und podcasts hören funktioniert genausogut, wie Musik. Ich beschalle damit angenehm und effektiv einen 70qm großen L-förmigen Raum. Auf halber Lautstärke (16) kommt schon wirklich richtig was raus, auf 25 wird das ganze Haus beschallt. Der Bass bleibt sauber, der Klang klar. (Das Radio kann aber nicht ein 5000 Euro teures 200 Watt 5.1 HiFi System ersetzen.. Just for the protocol.. Der Sound ist aber VIEL größer, als der der auch sehr beeindruckenden weil winzigen batteriebetriebenen Bluetooth Rucksackboxen von Bose: Soundlink Mini etwa, und angenehmer und neutraler als der Sound des Marshall Kilburn ;-))
Den eingebauten Equalizer kann man auch noch bemühen, jedoch bin ich mit dem Klang in der Standard Einstellung mehr als zufrieden.
+ DAB Radio funktioniert gut, solange das Signal gut ist. Hier im nördlichen Ruhrgebiet ist das Signal offenbar schlecht und schwankend. Merke ich auch an meinem Autoradio, das ständig zwischen FM und DAB hin und her schaltet, so man DAB aktiviert. Wenns läuft sehr guter, digitaler also rauschfreier Empfang. Wenn der Empfang dann schwankt schaltet das Radio den Ton immer wieder vollständig ab und wieder ein, was mehr nerven kann, als Rauschen auf FM.
+ FM Empfang ist sehr gut. Sendersuchlauf gut, Display mit RadioText gut. Tadellos.
+ Bluetooth funktioniert sehr gut und schnell. Verbindet sich automatisch mit dem letzten Partner. Zum Verbinden mit einem anderen Partner muss die Verbindung erst manuell getrennt werden, sonst klappts nicht.
+ Aux in funktioniert tadellos.
+ internet Radio jetzt auch. Gut und schnell, super Qualität.
+ Spotify Connect jetzt auch. Scheint mir jedoch noch nicht ganz ausgereift, bißchen fragil alles. Seis drum. Von der Idee her ist Spotify Connect erstklassig, da das Radio sich die Musik direkt aus dem Wlan zieht und diese nicht via Bluetooth z.B. vom Handy an das Radio gesendet wird. Gerät man aus dem bluetooth Empfangsbereich würde sonst die Musik stocken bzw. aufhören. Das wird mit Connect verhindert. Daumen rauf!
+ Music Player greift sehr schnell und übersichtlich per WLAN auf mein NAS zu. Funktioniert exzellent.
Anschlüsse und Bedienelemente wurden schon von anderen Rezensenten vorgestellt. Es ist tatsächlich schade, daß die Kopfhörerbuchse nicht mit den dreipoligen Headsets umgehen kann. Vielleicht gibts einen Adapter. Die Bedienung via vier Wege "Joystick" gefällt mir sehr gut.
Rundum ein sehr, sehr gelungenes Gerät, das meines Erachtens nach sein Geld wert ist. Wenn es fünf bis zehn Jahre hält und nicht nach zwei Jahren auseinanderfällt! Davon gehe ich jedoch einfach mal aus.
Von mir gibt es also eine klare Kaufempfehlung. Wenn Euch der Bericht geholfen hat, lasst mir einen Daumen da. :-)

1. Déballage
Pas très lourd, assez compact, c'est un appareil aux finitions luxueuses (bois et acier, le tout bien assemblé), au look "néo rétro", inspiré des 60's, tout en étant éclairé d'un écran oled qui lui n'a rien de vieillot. Ma femme n'est pas plus séduite que cela par cette apparence, question de gout...
Une télécommande de la taille d'une carte bancaire l'accompagne, elle fait qq mm d'épaisseur (plutôt fine donc). Pas super lisible, car toute noire, elle a des touches indiquées d'un texte assez fin. Elle marche très bien, mais je m'en moque un peu, car ma cuisine n'est pas si grande et c'est là que je l'ai installée, ma radio.
Il faut brancher l'ensemble sur une prise de courant, car il n'y a pas de batterie. Une notice épaisse est également de la partie et je dois dire que je ne l'ai toujours pas ouverte, car l'installation m'a semblé un jeu d'enfant.
2. Utilisation
Mon objectif était d'abord la radio : Priorité à l'internet (avec son nombre quasi illimité de chaines, sans grésillement, provenant du monde entier), mais avec aussi, de préférence une bonne réception FM (par exemple utile quand internet ne marche pas...), et pourquoi pas le DAB (c'est la future TNT de la radio). Ici : nous avons tout ça, et tout fonctionne parfaitement, quasi immédiatement (juste rentrer la clé de la box internet et c'est tout). "Esprit Apple" : c'est beau, c'est simple, et ça marche tout de suite. J'adore !!
A noter que j'ai trouvé des chaines DAB fonctionnelles (j'habite en Ile de France). Exemples: Chante France, Euronews Radio,...
J'ai aussi acheté cette merveille pour y connecter ma musique stockée sur le cloud ou dans l'iPhone vie le Bluetooth : pareil, zéro problème, c'est fait en 10 secondes ! Mais là je ne donne pas 10/10 : le son est moins bien, je suis même un peu déçu. Quelle version du Bluetooth ont-ils implémenté ? C'est à voir, car on constate avec pas mal de produits "nomades" que le Bluetooth donne aujourd'hui des résultats remarquables. Pas le cas ici donc.
Retour à la radio, avec un autre objectif : pouvoir mémoriser mes stations préférées, y accéder facilement. Celles de madame, les miennes, et celle de la nounou, qui n'est pas du tout technophile. Ici nous avons exactement ce qu'il faut, avec 8 touches pour les chaines enregistrées. Pareil pour les programmer, pas besoin de notice, un appui long sur une touche et hop c'est mémorisé. Encore une fois, chapeau.
Petit bilan sur l'ergonomie : c'est FACILE ! Passer de l'internet à la FM, changer de "fréquence", changer le son via l'égaliseur intégré...tout cela est possible et se fait de manière très intuitive.
Le SON justement : alors là tapis rouge, chapeau bas, il est magnifique ! Oui, c'est un HP mono (pas stéréo)...mais quel son. C'est cristallin de précision, c'est puissant, il y a des basses, cela ne sature pas, cela ne fatigue pas non plus les oreilles. Pour ceux qui connaissent : prenez une soundlink mini de Bose, mais avec des basses plus naturelles, moins "présentes", et avec un son plus équilibré (des aigus mieux définis), et avec un zeste de puissance en plus : vous avez une idée du son de cette radio !!
Enfin, que dire du prix ? Dans l'absolu, c'est bien cher pour une radio. Une fois l'objet en mains, on comprend un peu, car c'est un objet fabriqué avec soin, en petite série, avec des composants de grande qualité. Néanmoins, je ne l'aurais pas acheté à son tarif "catalogue" (entre 340 et 400 euros) et je regrette de telles variations de tarif (ici même, je l'ai payé 280 euros il y a qq jours, et le voici déjà à 320 ??)
Conclusion :
Que de qualités, quelle bonne surprise ! Dans un monde qui n'est pas parfait, on pourra critiquer l'esthétique, qui ne plaira pas à tout le monde, (mais qui constitue une qualité pour moi), on regrettera un baisse de la qualité sonore en Bluetooth, et on trouvera le prix un peu corsé.
Le reste est superlatif, tout simplement. Je n'ai trouvé aucun produit équivalent sur le marché, au moment d'écrire cette chronique (sauf peut-être le RUARK R2i mk3 mais le prix est carrément stratosphérique...)
EDIT après quelques semaines : Je confirme les qualités précitées (le son notamment) mais, au démarrage, je doit de temps en temps débrancher / rebrancher pour pouvoir connecter l'internet, ce qui prend une minute de plus environ (quelle ironie pour un "SuperConnect") Malgré ce défaut de connectivité assez pénible, l'appareil est un pur plaisir au quotidien. La note méritée est au moins 4,5/5
I know this is marketed as a table radio but buyers are using them as bedsides. All in all because of the quality I am happy to give 5 stars but hope my comments team accessibility can be borne in mind for future versions.
Per l'uso con Spotify Connect (io collego il Revo a casse amplificate) è perfetto: reattivo, veloce, con un ottima uscita di segnale che passa una linea pulita ai miei diffusori.
Ci sono poche soluzioni ancora per usare Spotify Connect con un sistema audio, e questa (insieme al NAD che però costa il triplo) direi che sia ideale per lo scopo.
Il diffusore interno non è ovviamente confrontabile con la performance di sistemi HiFi, comunque è dignitoso, non distorce, ed è molto nitido sui toni della voce.
FM e DAB funzionano molto bene, ma non ne faccio uso, per cui sono solo impressioni.
Concludo dicendo che è molto ben costruito, pesantuccio, e anche bello da vedere. Peccato solo per l'alimentatore esterno anziché integrato.
Ottimo prodotto, per l'uso che ne faccio....
