I'm getting poor R3 DAB quality right now (2005/02/10-20:00). Normally it
sounds exactly like FM except no background noise, but since last night
the frequency extremes are missing. FM is OK, so the audio stages of the
tuner are working properly, and I've fed the digital output into a
Minidisc recorder to use a different DAC and the muffled effect is
present. Hard to see what's left in the receiver (Sony ST-D777ES) for it
to be a fault there.

Anyone else hear this?

YES. I just did a check (2005-02-11 at 13:45) and yes, R3/DAB is very
muffled at the moment. I just compared it to R3/DTTV. Up to now the two
have been indistinguishable (well, apart from the extra delay on DTTV).
I wonder what's happened to R3/DAB - it's horrible at the moment.


Probably had its bit rate cut to even it out with the other bit
disadvantaged channels;(
