Does anyone happen to know about the compression policy for this year's
Proms broadcasts? Could there be a difference between what is going out
on DAB and FM respectively?

On DAB I am getting the impression that compression is absent or reduced
compared with FM, which if true is good news. Switching between DAB and
FM on my Sony tuner, FM seems much louder than DAB on soft bits but not so
different on loud bits. However, the comparison is hampered by the 2-3s
muting when you switch - is this a feature of the Sony or do other
tuners do it? I presume it's to disguise the 1s delay on DAB.

(The actual sound quality of the few broadcasts that I have listened to
this season seems pretty good.)
