I have a very good 1984 receiver, but after reading multiple reviews from hi-fi websites, thought this was worth a try. NOT DISSAPOINTED! Want to share a few points below - You may want or need to add a better antenna, depending on your location. I have never had success with wire antennas so did not try the one included, but some reviewers had good results so suggest trying that first. I use rabbit ears that I harvested from a junk 1978 TV set and get very good reception considering it is right next to the tuner. I tried multiple positions but was not pleased at first. Then I moved the tuner a few inches and got better reception. So there's that. But I did notice a difference in HD quality between stations with four-bar signal strength and the ones with five bars. When the weather gets better I'll try moving the antenna to the attic and hope that helps. The five-bar signals produce outstanding results. Also if you are not doing this already, be sure to buy some decent cables to connect to your receiver or amp. I set my tuner up with crappy ones first to make sure the thing worked, but was a bit disappointed. Then I purchased some good ones on Amazon and was quire pleased with the improvement. The pair was less than $30 and well worth it. Some people spend hundreds on them but this pair got the standard FM stations back to the quality of my receiver, so unless you have a receiver/amp in the four-to-five digit dollar range there's no need spend more. Check some hi-fi community websites for suggestions and/or submit a question and I'll advise which ones I bought. BTW, I will buy more for my other components. Have not yet experimented with the AM function so cannot comment. Only drawback is that remote volume and muting control works only for the headphones, at least when running through analog components. Don't know if it would would work with total digital equipment. Setting the stations using the instructions is a bit confusing but easy once you understand that you have to release the two buttons before hitting the preset number button. Display will tell you when you've successfully added it. Overall I'm very happy with this purchase. Quality for the price is surprisingly good! UPDATE: IF YOU ARE CONNECTING TUNER TO AMP WITH RCA CABLES, READ THIS FOR GREATLY IMPROVED RESPONSE: While reading some hifi web threads I learned that performance can be enhanced by connecting tuner to a DAC (digital audio converter) via the optical audio output. Then connect from the DAC to the amp with your RCA cables. You can spend a lot of money if you want, but I bought a converter that included the optical digital cable through Amazon for $15 . Took just few minutes and WOW, really improved performance. 4-bar strength signals now sound fantastic. Search the internet for best DAC's if you want to review all options, but be sure to get one!

I agree with many of the other comments posted here. I have an older Magnum Dynalab analog tuner (MD 100) for my living-room stereo and bought the Sangean for my upstairs bedroom. The reception of stations up to about 50 miles is very good and I would say the lack of background noise compares favorably with the Magnum Dynalab; on HD stations the sound is almost CD quality. However, there are occasional digital artifacts: skips, dropouts, strange echos. Unfortunately, compared to the Magnum Dynalab, the Sanglean is almost impossible to operate in any sensible fashion. There are at least three times as many controls, most of which are useless, as well as an "info menu," a "mode menu" and a "menu menu" one needs to master and which contain options most people will not want. A good example of the confusion is the volume control/mute. Most stand-alone tuners do *not* include volume controls, which are usually found on the pre-amp. This unit *does* include a volume control but it is bypassed by the line output, and is thus totally nonfunctional except for someone wearing headphones, which nowadays tend to have their own volume control anyway. Why include it? The display logic is bonkers an shows that the engineers lost their minds. Most people, I would think, want to see the station info displayed when the unit is tuned to the station, and not be distracted by lights (especially in a dark room) when the unit is off. This piece only displays station info for a few seconds when powered on or off (or when the station is changed). Otherwise, nothing. You can keep the info on by adjusting the dimmer control to any setting other than "off," but in that case the clock is displayed even when the unit is turned off. Got it? The simplest option (display on when unit is on; display off when unit is off) does not appear to be an option. As someone else mentioned, the remote is very directional and is somewhat difficult to use. Setting the presets is also a rather elaborate procedure and not accurately described in the manual. Why these problems persist in this day and age is a mystery. Panasonic produced a good remote 30 years ago. Ditto with presets. In short, the sound quality of the Sanglean is excellent, but the company has forgotten the concept of simplicity in design. They should produce a *tuner* without all the bells and whistles that even a PhD can operate. Nevertheless, this is a good choice for those who don't have the budget for a top-end unit

Build date was 10-2021. After reading all the reviews and questions, I took a chance only to either get lucky or Sangean has raised the bar! Of all the complaining about the display not staying on, it does. Currently set on "2" and it dims to "1" and is completely readable with all the RDS info transmitted. For FM/FM HD, hooked up to an Yagi in the attic, Receives beyond expectations and reveals which broadcasters have a quality signal. If the signal is good, the sound is good. A few stations sound a little compressed which is what they do... set correctly, the HDT-20 can approach CD quality audio. For AM/AM HD, used the included indoor loop and much to my surprise, receives remarkably well with a radius of about 90 miles with a max of 300 miles (KRLD 1080 in Dallas) with a HD locked signal. You do need to rotate the loop to get the best signal but it does work quite well! The audio quality in analog almost matches a couple of high end vintage tuners I have (same antenna), the difference are slight and require critical listening to discern any difference. In HD, I actually listened to music that normally doesn't interest me but sounded so good I stayed on frequency. With my old eyes, the remote was still very usable and was nice in action. The presets among the other complaints are nothing to kill the deal, and work once you figure them out. Even with the indoor antenna, some lite DXing can be done on both bands just to see what's out there! Overall, I'm thrilled and considering getting another for the bedroom.

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 Amazon 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

We live just north of an area considered to be radio free [essentially no AM/FM/TV/Cell]. As such, getting any radio station from our location is difficult at best. The HDT-20 did better in our location for FM than any previous stand-alone or rack mounted FM receiver, hence the 5 star review. But, it should be noted that this was only with a 6 foot high gain vertical antenna. The provided wire antenna did nothing for us. Alas, there was no success whatsoever with the AM receiver portion, which was kind of expected. This was true no matter how high or distant the supplied antenna was placed. I'm not holding this against the receiver as no radio has ever been able to pull in any AM station in our area. The HD portion of the radio works fine, but the GUI is a bit confusing in it's communications. Blinking suggests that you should tune up to the HD 1 version, but doing so always turns off HD, which is on and fine despite blinking if you just leave it alone. This may be my reading error of course and your results may be different. Sound quality is quite reasonable with the radio re-producing the heavily low mid sound preferred by FM stations for decades. I'm easily able to hear the poorly adjusted compressor on one of my local classical stations, so detail is well presented. The remote is OK, though the power button seems to be a bit hit or miss. It suffers from the usual too many identical buttons performing different functions, but that is sort of the "norm" these days. All in all it seems a good deal for the price point and I would recommend it.

If you want to buy a component HD AM/FM tuner (and not spend a lot of money replacing your entire receiver), then this is pretty much the only choice on the market (as of the time of this review), so you're probably going to end up buying it. It's completely adequate: it is a decent tuner, and it's easy to set up, and the reception is good -- it can pull in ordinary FM stations on this that my non-HD receiver can barely pick out at all. It has both optical and RCA output, and even a headphone jack, so it's easy to hook up to almost anything. Assuming it's reliable (I've only had it a week, and so far so good), I'm happy to have it. It fulfills my desire to access a bunch of local HD stations that are not available as ordinary FM. But... it has no competition, and if it did, I think Sangean might be in big trouble, because there are a bunch of problems with the UI that are annoying, and anyone else who makes a similar product could easily fix: - 10 FM presets? That's not nearly enough. - The remote control only works at short range, and has to be directly in front of the unit. You might as well get up and press the buttons on the unit instead of using the remote at all, since if you're sitting more than 10 feet away you'll probably need to walk halfway before the remote consistently. - The idea that this is some sort of a radio alarm clock? Unnecessary, and annoying. The clock is tedious to set, and not useful. I'd like a way to have the display turn off entirely when I'm not using the tuner. - The display is too small to show all the info the stations send, and is unreadable from any distance, and greys out a moment after any changes are made, so it's not useful unless it's set to the maximum brightness all the time. - The tuner wheel is not for the impatient... as other reviewers have noted, it is not sensitive to how *fast* the wheel is turned, only that the wheel is being turned. What this means is that turning the wheel slowly has the same effect as turning it quickly, and that effect is to change the tuning at a set rate in the given direction. So if you're at 88.9 and you want to manually tune to 106.7, it takes 15 seconds (I timed it a few times) of spinning the wheel. Given that you've only got ten presets, if you like to listen to more than ten, this is awkward. (it's quicker to hold down the tuning button, but less accurate--easier to overshoot) - No up/down button to scroll through the presets. Ugh. It really looks like Sangean took the electronics from one of their table-top radios (the Sangean HDR-18), removed the speaker and amp, added RCA and optical outputs, put it in a different case... and bumped up the price! So--it works, and I'm happy to have it, but I wish there was competition.

This is a great way to add HD radio to your AV system. It tunes a lot of stations using the small outside TV antenna system I have, but there is a problem with the optical/coaxial digital output. The digital output is silent for most of the frequencies on the FM band. No static and no stations even when they do tune in. I tried two different receivers and even the digital input of a MacBook Pro and the results were the same. The analog output sounds fine, but digital should be the way to go. Has anyone seen this issue? I have to try their support again. AM HD works fine, but there is only one weak station in the area far away, so I can’t use it downstairs. This is the second unit I tried. Both have build dates of 11/2022, but I bought one from Walmart which I returned. This one came from Amazon and I will probably keep it despite the problem. I would give it five stars if not for the digital output problem. There are really no competitive units still being made as HD radio has far more penetration in cars than in homes.
