The Proms and audio quality of Freeview boxes

Watching the proms I was frustrated at not being able to listen
through the hi-fi whilst watching an out of sync digital broadcast! I
thought it would be nice to connect the box to the hi-fi, but the
sound isn't quite as good as my tuner.
I have the Pace Twin receiver. Audio wise the phonos are OK, but I run an
optical from the optical out to the optical in on my amp, you could use an
outboard DAC if you want.
Sound is excellent - better radio than DAB (although I like the convenience
of DAB and use it a lot, especially for local radio) and good picture and
hard disk recording too - you can get huge amounts of radio timeshifted on
the thing!
Would recommend it, don't rely on it for recording things of importance (as
it's a bit buggy but latest firmware is very good).
