{"product_id":"sangeanwft4","title":"Sangean WFT-4 Internet Radio \u0026 DAB+ Receiver","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Sangean WFT-4 is a standard-width (43 cm) tuner and network receiver that combines DAB+, FM, internet radio and two-way Bluetooth in a single component, ready to connect to an existing stereo system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the WFT-4\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost digital radios come with their own small built-in speakers – and that's exactly where the fun stops for serious listeners. The WFT-4 does it differently: it's a pure source. No speaker, no compromise. You connect it to your amplifier, your active speakers or your headphone amp, and bring DAB+, FM and half the world's internet stations into a chain you've already built.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes it special is the two-way Bluetooth. The WFT-4 doesn't just receive Bluetooth from your phone – it also transmits, for example to Bluetooth headphones or a second speaker. With aptX and aptX Adaptive, the quality stays noticeably higher than you'd expect from Bluetooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver LAN or Wi-Fi, the whole catalogue opens up: internet radio from around the world, podcasts and – if you like – streaming via Spotify, Amazon Music or Deezer, controlled from the sofa with the UNDOK app. Locally, the WFT-4 receives DAB+ in full quality and FM with RDS for the stations that are still analogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the 4-inch colour display you see station name, title and cover logo instead of a cryptic frequency readout. Through the optical and coaxial digital output you pass the signal cleanly to an external DAC or AV receiver – analogue output runs the classic way via line-out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for – plain talk\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe WFT-4 is for you if you already have an amplifier and speakers and just need a versatile, good-sounding source. If you want a ready-made radio to put down and switch on, you're better served by a DDR-7X or WR-201D – they have speakers on board. The WFT-4, by contrast, wants to be integrated into a system. That's exactly what it's built for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn honestly conceived network receiver for anyone who wants to keep their system and just modernise the sources. DAB+, internet radio and two-way Bluetooth with aptX in one housing – that's a rare and sensible combination. We at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil are happy to show you how it fits into your existing chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Network receiver \/ tuner – DAB+, FM-RDS, internet radio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two-way – receiver (BT 5.0) and transmitter (BT 5.2), SBC \/ aptX \/ aptX Adaptive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStreaming services:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spotify, Amazon Music, Deezer, podcasts (via UNDOK app, optional)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStation presets:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisplay:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4\" TFT colour LCD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAudio formats:\u003c\/strong\u003e MP3, WAV, AAC, AAC+, FLAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnections:\u003c\/strong\u003e AUX-in, line-out, SPDIF optical + coaxial, RJ45 LAN, Wi-Fi, F-connector antenna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower supply:\u003c\/strong\u003e AC 100–240 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W×H×D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 430 × 75.5 × 310 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2595 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e WFT-4, power cable, remote control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Sangean WFT-4 have built-in speakers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The WFT-4 is a pure receiver without speakers. It's designed as a source and connects to an amplifier, active speakers or a headphone amp. That way it fits into an existing hi-fi system instead of bringing its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does two-way Bluetooth mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe WFT-4 can both receive and transmit Bluetooth. So you can stream from your phone to the receiver, but you can just as easily send from the receiver to Bluetooth headphones or a speaker. Thanks to aptX and aptX Adaptive, the sound quality stays noticeably better than with plain Bluetooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a paid subscription for the WFT-4?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. DAB+, FM and internet radio work without any subscription. Streaming services like Spotify or Amazon Music can be used in addition if you're already a customer there – it's not required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect the WFT-4 to an external DAC?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Through the optical or coaxial digital output you pass the signal losslessly to an external DAC or AV receiver. That way the converter quality of your chain determines the sound, not the receiver alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Sangean WFT-4 at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause a receiver is only as good as the system it's built into.
