Normally it sounds exactly like FM except no background noise



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

http://83.142.53.30/~digital/R3_FM.mp3 (2.2 MB)

And R3 is the best sounding station on DAB, which doesn't say much for
the other ****e.....


Actually the FM has a very high level of hiss, and a generally harsh
and unpleasant sound. The DAB is far better.
