Default DAB R3 balance

In article ,
DAB sounds worse than FM wrote:
Whenver I've compared R3 DAB with R3 FM, FM has always sounded better.


Download and listen to the R3 DAB and FM recordings from my samples

Just have done. Apart from one being MP2 and one MP3, there are splats on
the DAB sample which you simply don't get in reality, and some form of
heterodyning on the FM one which I've never heard before. Sounds like a
possibly dodgy land line? Or something going on at low level in the
recording which is well and truly upsetting the coding - as it shows up on
the DAB sample as well, but in a different way.

Perhaps Jim Lesurf would have a listen and comment?

I don't have the very best MP3 codecs on this computer, but most of the
things I download sound ok.
