Advantages: Great value and loads of options Disadvantages: Can't think of one

This is what you get for your £29.99 ? hurry while stocks last!!
First, a rather sexy little CD player, very light and compact with a led display and ten second anti-shock. The DAP771 has a ¾ blue see-thru cover, which opens with the controls as part of the lid.
