Thanks for posting this review! I am disappointed with your results using the DaySequerra, but not really surprised. Making a first class FM tuner has always been a pricey undertaking. I know that some tuners rely on DSP for processing, which should reduce complexity and cost, but there doesn't yet seem to be any shortcut to getting top performance from FM.
