The bass isn’t bloated or stodgy, and there’s good clarity in the upper-mids and treble. This is handy for helping the projection of all voices, those of singers or the spoken-word content you’ll hear on BBC Radio 4. One of the biggest issues cited by users is the Siesta’s interface. Many owners argue that navigating an interface to select which presets to tune into is counter-intuitive. It is also not Bluetooth or Wi-Fi enabled, but for those who can’t live without better connectivity features, the Pure Siesta Rise S is a Bluetooth-capable alternative. Pure Siesta Rise: Sound quality Whether you’re looking for the perfect rechargeable DAB radio or the ultimate home sound system, you can expect Pure to deliver on both image and performance. The punchy audio quality is great for bedside listening, although you won’t get the same depth or adjustability that you would get from something like the Pure Avalon N5. Pure Siesta Mi Series 2 review: Verdict

If you’re not playing at high volume, you can get away with less. Not all brands provide this information because it can easily be confused with sound quality. Preset stations Stable reception: Bluetooth radios with DAB+ technology offer stable quality, even if reception is weak, while FM radios often come with static noise. The Pure Siesta Home is likely far larger than you’d expect from the images of it you’ll see. It’s 20cm deep and 17cm wide. For example, as well as an automatically dimming display, you can also use the built-in sleep timer to put your radio into standby mode after a certain length of time. Both DAB and DAB+ are digital radio transmission standards, with the difference being the technology used. DAB uses older technology and has less power than DAB+. With increased power, DAB+ provides better sound quality and an extended choice of radio stations, which is why DAB+ is viewed as more future-proof and is replacing DAB in an increasing number of countries. How to receive digital radio like DAB, DAB+ radio

You can press Siesta once to set the alarm for a power nap lasting anywhere between 5 minutes and 90 minutes.

It justifies its CD player. And if you live in, say, a studio flat, you could use the Pure Siesta Home as your only music system and be fairly happy. For instance, you can stream content directly to your alarm with your phone using Bluetooth with the S6. Bluetooth isn’t available on the Rise unless you pay for the “S” model. Though some people refer to the Siesta S6 as the Pure Siesta Rise S6, there’s actually no “Rise” included in the title. That might be a little confusing, particularly when you see how similar in style the S6 is to the flagship Siesta product. The Pure Siesta Home isn’t a world-class demo of the tech it features – such as a Sonos Play:1 or Apple HomePod – but it is a clever combo of old and newer ideas. Given it’s made for people who still use CDs, this makes sense.Digital radios, also known as DAB+ (Digital Audio Broadcasting Plus), work by transmitting digital radio signals instead of analog signals, as is the case with traditional FM radios. In other words, radio stations transmit their programmes digitally.
