Default OT digital radio

I am greedy I have two DAB receivers.

One is a Technics and has digital outputs and analugue outputs for
connecting to a amplifier.

The other is the Pure Evoke 1 which has a 3.5mm stereo analogue output
which I have connected to an amplifier. I got the later as it runs off
an external 12V power brick and I use it in a camper van fedding a
power amp. This has a built in amplifier with an optional second
speaker for stereo listening, yes optional, built to hit the £100
price mark.

I am impressed with both of them.

Check the signal strengths in your region. I added an external ariel
to the hosue and found 4 or 5 multiplexes over 2 on the ribbon type
ariel. One of them drops out occasionally under atmospherics or other
enviroenmental issues.

The great bit is good sound quality with the receiver sitting close to
some computers, where stereo FM got very nosiy.

Sorry for the OT but I'm sure someone here will know.
I'd like to buy a digital radio for someone as a Christmas present. I am
clueless about the options on these new-fangled beasties. The person concerned
would, I know, like to take off-air recordings (:-)) - but do all these types of
radios provide such an output? (similar to the way ordinary radios have an
earpiece output socket). What features should I check for? I'd like to avoid the
"ah if only it had a ????" thing. I see Argos have several models - anyone have
a recomendation for any of them - or maybe somewhere else I should look?
Thank you
