> They have a higher quality That's how it is sold indeed, but not entirely true. There is definitely a better signal to noise ratio, but the sample rate is pretty bad which makes the quality lower than normal FM. It's only a 128kbs MP3/AAC stream! It's only because people don't hear noise anymore they think the quality is better. Analog FM is by the way much more robust too as a signal. A shame the government forces people to invest in lower quality qear.. |

MP2 is transparent once you get to 256kbit, so the actual codec isn't really the problem, it's the bitrate choice. I don't have any experience of EU DAB, but in the UK, most DAB stations are 128K, which isn't even close to being transparent. The audio quality on FM is considerably better.
