Review: THE Best Quality Component Tuner I’ve ever owned! - This is my Second HDT HD Sangean tuner I own, still have the HDT-1 but wanted a digital out to mate with my new RME ADI-2 Dac. My HDT 1 lasted over 15 years and was still working perfectly so the question of are these made to last I would say Yes. I never had a problem with the 1 and so I took the plunge last September on the 2. Wow guys, Sangean outdid themselves. The Kit Looks FANTASTIC. Really looks very well built. So now here’s my reply to some of the reviews on desertcart I’ve read. Too complicated to use. Well yes and No. Sangean put a schiit load of features, buttons, menus for us folks who like to “Play” with our gear. But, you DON’T have to use it that way. I’ve got mine set up like my old HDT 1. Have 10 presets lined up, just like the old days, Tune in a station, hold down a preset button for a second and it’s set! To “recall”, a preset, you have to hit the “Preset” button and then the preset you want to go to. No big deal. Thee other thing is the button layout, most of the button’s have a “Dual” purpose, IF YOU WANT TO GET CRAZY. I just us it like a regular tuner and there is nothing complicated about it. But….if you want to Tweak away, you’ll have plenty to play with. Now, the sound, again, wit a Top Tier dipole inside antenna, reception in the Seattle area is great. Tons of college stations, underground stations and “Sub Channel stations (HD 2 and up) with lots of the sub stations streaming internet radio stations. The sound Quality is Fantastic. Digital output coax into my DAC is 48 KHz and a 24 Bit Depth! Read that again……… No digital “burps, clicks, farts, stutters, shadows, nothing but CLEAN reception and truly High Fidelity music. The digital display is easy to see from 10 feet away and at full brightness it is fine, I have no complaints about the display at all. Again, my log HDT 1 lasted 15+ years and is still perfectly functional, so I think that should say something about the reliability of these tuners. And last but not least, th AM section is surprisingly good, compared to so many tuners old and new that sound like crap on the AM band, Sangean should be commended on not overlooking this band because I do listen to AM radio a lot. I keep my tuner in 24/7 by the way, including my old HDT 1, 24/7. Not lying here, the jazz station I listen to keeps the Cats mellow at night. Hope that helps, I’m really digging it, and all the cool HD Sub channels around here really making my experience worthwhile. Gerard Masters
Review: Tuner works great; Clock has problems - Very good sound quality. Successfully receives all my local stations. Everything works as advertised except the clock. You have a choice between manual and automatic time setting. In the automatic setting, the radio is supposed to acquire the time from the radio station. I've been using this for a week and the time is still not displayed. I can manually set the time, but whenever there is a power interruption, you have to reset it. I would think that Sangean engineering dept could solve that; digital clocks were perfected about 50 years ago. I'm not using the clock features, so it's not that big a deal for me. But it does have sleep and wake up radio features that rely on the clock. I hope they don't have the same problems with their nightstand clock radios.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it possible to connect an external yagi roof antenna with rg6 coax cable to this radio? or does it come with a small antenna connected permanently?**
A: Andrew:  The FM input on the Sangean is for standard 75-ohm (RG6) so your external antenna will connect.  It comes with an FM loop antenna, but I have an external antenna hooked up and it works fine.  rgds, Pete

**Q: Does this reciever pick up HD-2 signals?**
A: Yes this does. I read the manual and it says hd 1 hd2 and hd 3

**Q: Will it keep station memories if you unplug or lose power?**
A: I think for a little while. I have a Sangean HDR-18 radio, very similiar to this receiver in operation. I have unplugged it to move it and I did not loose any preset radio stations.

**Q: Can you force analog-only reception? There's a station I like that has very bad compression artifacts on the digital.**
A: Not that I can find. This was possible on the older model (HDT-1x) but not on this one as far as I can tell.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tunes a lot of stations with the cheap dipole antenna provided
*by A***R on October 4, 2023*

First, reception is not good where I live, a single story home surrounded by 2 story houses. Most FM broadcast towers are 25 or more miles away. There is no "line of sight" for me. Reception with the cheap dipole antenna provided is good. Using an outdoor powered antenna (which is currently located indoor) increases the signal strength and pulls in a few more stations. I am using this tuner in my bedroom; which is really my secondary setup. My primary is in the living room and is more of an A/V system. I have read almost all of the prior reviews (sad but true); and it seems to me that many have not read and understood the manual or the unit it's self. Therefore in response I offer the following: 1) My remote works just fine; no trouble with using it. 2) The screen is OK, a little bright if you want it to stay always on 3) If you need a 1/4" for your headphones get an adapter 4) The vol control is for headphones so you don't kill your ears; and was a good idea 5) The panel buttons are a hot mess; just use the remote; issue solved 6) The tuning dial is not an issue; just push in with your thumb while resting your index finger on the unit. 7) If you do not like the alarm don't use it; I don't 8) The standby light is to show that the unit is powered and ready to turn on; just like the one on my TV 9) The clock is on screen when the unit is off and is a good thing Using the optical out really increases sound clarity; after getting some longer cables I will use that option. I have not used the AM mode; so no comments on that. Only having 10 presets is a real pain if you live in an urban area. Reviewers need to take into account that this is really a low cost tuner and should be judged in that light. If you are an audiophile with plenty of bucks maybe you should consider a different option for your $40000.00 setup. Final thoughts: This tuner is well worth the $$ (about $185 w/tax) and I would buy it again.
