Grace Digital Innovator III GDI-IR2500
$170.00
Released September, 2004
The Pros:4-line LCD is easy to read from a distance. Starts up quickly when turned on, finds stations and starts streaming in adequate time. Doesn't suffer interruptions to the stream.
The Cons:Remote control is difficult to work with due to poorly planned design. Spend quite a bit of time scrolling through menus during the setup. Mids and highs from the built-in speaker are tinny and washed out.
The Grace Digital Innovator III GDI-IR2500 is one of three Internet radio devices (GDI-IR1000, GDI-IR2000, GDI-IR2500). It’s a competitor to the Innovator II. It doesn’t feature its counterpart’s auxiliary input, but it hosts an angled design for improved audio dispersion.
