Fanus Sorry man should have gotten to you earlier. If you have tunein radio it works on there. Just search for radio new Zealand sport and you will be good to go. This one still works fine.

Have you perhaps found a way to listen to the match tomorrow morning. The station on tapin radio does not play and even the New Zealand app on the iphone is silent.

At least that is what the manual that I downloaded says.

Regarding the line-in? You're correct about audio quality depreciating somewhat, its an analogue line-in after all and the MM1'S are based around Digital input hence the USB cable from the computer to the MM1's. Now I can't remember exactly whether the analogue input of the MM1's doubles as a Toslink 3.5MM digital input? I know the input socket on the A7 can be used as both analogue and digital, I have the A7 linked to my Sangean DDR63+ through a digital cable so with that - the DDr63 has DAB+ Radio, CD Player, Internet Radio, iPod dock etc -, with the A7'S ability to stream AirPlay and it linked to my computer via USB I have a pretty powerful system to be going on with.
