It Works But Could Be Inproved
I live in a suburban area that is close to many radio stations. Unfortunately, due to the physical location of my house which has many obstacles blocking a clear signal I was unable to receive either FM or AM signals even with an amplified antenna. With this unit I am able to receive clear internet radio. I purchased this particular unit because I wanted to connect it directly to my router so I can' t speak to how good the Wi-Fi is but it works well with the ethernet connection. My only negative is that the controls and functions are not very intuitive.

Overall, seems like a good product
Got one of these for a family member for SIIRUS and liked it. No need to run an antenna to the roof. Instead, it just works off your wireless/wired internet connection. Only reason for losing a star is I now see how Stereo receivers are having some of these services (SIRIUS, Pandora, etc.) now built into them so may be obsolete soon. Otherwise, works pretty good for now.

The Best Device I Have Ever Purchased
I am a writer working from home. I bought this is listen to jazz while I work. I turn it on first thing in the morning and it stays on all day. I love it. I am running a TOSLINK optical to a Sony 2.1 center speaker that is just perfect for me, so if you are using a high-end stereo system you may get different results. So far I have 4 stations on preset (WWFM from NJ is my favorite) and can always find something to listen to so I have 29,996 more to go. I cannot really tell the difference between the sound quality from station to station. WWFM pushes a consistent 48Kbps and a station from Bethel KS goes from 180-328K and I can't hear any real differences. I have listened to my CDs played thru my Blu-Ray and they sound only slightly better than the Grace. I am just beyond happy having this device. It is pretty easy to figure out and set up. Once you get the hang of the navigation (using the "end" and "go back" properly was a bit tricky at first) it's a breeze to use. It takes anywhere from 10-20 seconds to buffer and get a new station but once it has it it keeps it! Lost signals are probably station issues or your 'net dropping not the unit. If I have one complaint it is the temperamental remote. You HAVE to have a good aim and a clear shot to get a 50% return rate, it's just that bad. Sometimes it responds instantly, sometimes after a second. Sometimes the display lights up, sometimes it doesn't. My technique is to wait 2 seconds and if it doesn't switch I give it a quick second push and that almost always works. I think early on I expected it to switch too quickly and was clicking too much. Give it a second before pressing again but make sure to aim properly too! LOL. On a 1 to 5 scale the RC is a 2. I am so pleased with the Grace, it is a joy to have. I got the 4 year plan since It is on about 16 hours a day. So for $204 I will be using this worry-free 16 hours a day for the next 1500 days and loving every second of it. That probably works out to a tenth of a penny an hour. If you are even thinking about getting one, for whatever reason, get it. I cannot imagine anyone having this bad boy in their home and regretting it.
