Hi Smaragd,

I have just replied to effectively the same question to RussP on another thread.

‘Hi Russ,

Not ‘cheap Chinese’, but you can get a NooElec Nano 2 or Nano 2+ (with case) from Amazon.

Don’t be tempted by the Nano 3 - they run incredibly hot.’

Best Regards

Peter

Peter - do I just plug it in, or do I need to use the controller that comes with it in some way?

Just plug it in, the controller is more for those using it as a TV
