This looks pretty sweet. I would rather have this than a Bluetooth tube or brick. I don't know why they don't have pics of the back, and YouTube reviews are sparce. I don't know if the speakers are ported. I don't know if the radio can play flac files. This would be a pretty good setup for a desktop computer.

Is this just a name stamped in a generic device? Sharp is not going on for a while right?

Yeah I think most people don't realize but the Bluetooth brick or a tube took a huge step back in terms of sound isolation. Of course the more expensive ones play tricks to give off the mirage. A lot of the time with "new tech", we really took a step back. (Believe it or not, some cheap Bluetooth speakers are actually Mono! Yes remember mono vs stereo from the 80s!!)

I bought this, received it today. The sound is good enough, BUT I mainly use Bluetooth and unfortunately there is a consistent hissing sound, coming from the left speaking ONLY when BT is selected. This is weird, it is not too noticeable when I'm far enough. I've swapped cables and physically moved the console to a different place… I thinks it is the Bluetooth receptor itself. I'm kind of disappointed, I'll probably return it…
