HD radio tuner: is this one good?

[Vanguard]

I'm looking for a cheap, no-frills HD Radio tuner with the best durability I can get from the budget echelon.

This Sony Model seems to stand out, but I'm not sure whether or not to seriously consider the negative reviews (on a site like newegg for example, one can expect to see negative reviews for just about anything).

Any advice or comments would be welcome. Thanks!

I always trust the reviews from Newegg. You gotta sift thru some of the obvious bias though and look for the commonality between reviews.

One of the audio reviewers at Stereophile Magazine (an American high end audio magazine) reviewed this a few months ago..went gaga over it---a GREAT audio bargain for the price !!!
