FOR Great sound; modern design; Spotify Connect
AGAINST Nothing of note
Roberts’ Stream 93i radio won a What Hi-Fi? Award for three years running – so how do you improve on something that is clearly the best in its category? The answer is carefully. Roberts has made just a few small changes for its replacement, the Stream 94i, including the addition of Bluetooth – the only significant thing we felt was missing from its predecessor.
With that feature and a snappy new design, the Stream 94i sets the bar even higher. As well as its Bluetooth connection, it has a whole host of ways in which to play audio. It has access to FM, DAB and internet stations, so you should never be lacking for sounds – whether from your local radio or connected to the world wide web via the built-in wi-fi or ethernet port.
Other physical connections include USB and 3.5mm inputs, while the Stream 94i can also access digital music over a local area network (LAN) in MP3, WMA, FLAC, AAC, ALAC and WAV formats.
