An additional weirdness, the SB classic, which is older than the radio,
and the touch which is newer than the radio, seem to not be affected by
this issue. It’s a shame, I have added a Wi-Fi dongle to one radio and
that seems to work, but now I cannot use it with a battery.

Completely agree and I still have mine on a table for occasional use. 

The receivers may not have had the best DAC but with a digital
connection to an external DAC this was solved.

Can’t stand Darko’s usual subjective nonsense (macro dynamics anyone?)
but nice to see him praising the SB ecosystem.
