Earlier in the year we previewed the TEAC CR-H250 DAB/CD receiver and on first sight, the new CR-H255 looks pretty much identical. But wait, there's one small, but nonetheless significant addition. In keeping with the ever-growing trend for MP3 player integration, the new model neatly incorporates a front-fascia USB port, enabling playback of MP3/WMA files from a USB-type portable MP3 player, or an external HDD unit with a USB interface. The CR-H255 also lets you record from any source, such as CD, AUX, AM, FM and DAB, onto a connected USB device.
Considering its versatility, we think the asking price of £270 is pretty reasonable. It'll be on the shelves from next month.
