Review: Sangean HDT-20 is a purpose-built radio component - Sangean HDT-20 is a purpose-built radio component, not a standalone stereo. With a Channel Master antenna and booster, it reliably pulls HD channels across New England. Routed through an external DAC and into Audioengine 5 monitors, audio is clean, dynamic, and broadcast-grade. Strength lies in signal separation: tuner → DAC → amplifier. Minimal noise, accurate stereo. Ideal for modular setups where the user controls amplification and processing. Delivers high-fidelity over-the-air radio without subscriptions. Does exactly what it was engineered to do—nothing more, nothing less.
Review: Great HD tuner as the only game in town, BUT… - This is a great way to add HD radio to your AV system. It tunes a lot of stations using the small outside TV antenna system I have, but there is a problem with the optical/coaxial digital output. The digital output is silent for most of the frequencies on the FM band. No static and no stations even when they do tune in. I tried two different receivers and even the digital input of a MacBook Pro and the results were the same. The analog output sounds fine, but digital should be the way to go. Has anyone seen this issue? I have to try their support again. AM HD works fine, but there is only one weak station in the area far away, so I can’t use it downstairs. This is the second unit I tried. Both have build dates of 11/2022, but I bought one from Walmart which I returned. This one came from desertcart and I will probably keep it despite the problem. I would give it five stars if not for the digital output problem. There are really no competitive units still being made as HD radio has far more penetration in cars than in homes.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it possible to connect an external yagi roof antenna with rg6 coax cable to this radio? or does it come with a small antenna connected permanently?**
A: Andrew:  The FM input on the Sangean is for standard 75-ohm (RG6) so your external antenna will connect.  It comes with an FM loop antenna, but I have an external antenna hooked up and it works fine.  rgds, Pete

**Q: Does this reciever pick up HD-2 signals?**
A: Yes this does. I read the manual and it says hd 1 hd2 and hd 3

**Q: Will it keep station memories if you unplug or lose power?**
A: I think for a little while. I have a Sangean HDR-18 radio, very similiar to this receiver in operation. I have unplugged it to move it and I did not loose any preset radio stations.

**Q: Can you force analog-only reception? There's a station I like that has very bad compression artifacts on the digital.**
A: Not that I can find. This was possible on the older model (HDT-1x) but not on this one as far as I can tell.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ THE Best Quality Component Tuner I’ve ever owned!
*by G***S on December 23, 2022*

This is my Second HDT HD Sangean tuner I own, still have the HDT-1 but wanted a digital out to mate with my new RME ADI-2 Dac. My HDT 1 lasted over 15 years and was still working perfectly so the question of are these made to last I would say Yes. I never had a problem with the 1 and so I took the plunge last September on the 2. Wow guys, Sangean outdid themselves. The Kit Looks FANTASTIC. Really looks very well built. So now here’s my reply to some of the reviews on Amazon I’ve read. Too complicated to use. Well yes and No. Sangean put a schiit load of features, buttons, menus for us folks who like to “Play” with our gear. But, you DON’T have to use it that way. I’ve got mine set up like my old HDT 1. Have 10 presets lined up, just like the old days, Tune in a station, hold down a preset button for a second and it’s set! To “recall”, a preset, you have to hit the “Preset” button and then the preset you want to go to. No big deal. Thee other thing is the button layout, most of the button’s have a “Dual” purpose, IF YOU WANT TO GET CRAZY. I just us it like a regular tuner and there is nothing complicated about it. But….if you want to Tweak away, you’ll have plenty to play with. Now, the sound, again, wit a Top Tier dipole inside antenna, reception in the Seattle area is great. Tons of college stations, underground stations and “Sub Channel stations (HD 2 and up) with lots of the sub stations streaming internet radio stations. The sound Quality is Fantastic. Digital output coax into my DAC is 48 KHz and a 24 Bit Depth! Read that again……… No digital “burps, clicks, farts, stutters, shadows, nothing but CLEAN reception and truly High Fidelity music. The digital display is easy to see from 10 feet away and at full brightness it is fine, I have no complaints about the display at all. Again, my log HDT 1 lasted 15+ years and is still perfectly functional, so I think that should say something about the reliability of these tuners. And last but not least, th AM section is surprisingly good, compared to so many tuners old and new that sound like crap on the AM band, Sangean should be commended on not overlooking this band because I do listen to AM radio a lot. I keep my tuner in 24/7 by the way, including my old HDT 1, 24/7. Not lying here, the jazz station I listen to keeps the Cats mellow at night. Hope that helps, I’m really digging it, and all the cool HD Sub channels around here really making my experience worthwhile. Gerard Masters
