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.

Can't say I've noticed the splats on the DAB one, or the heterodyning on
the FM one, but from that site on both DAB and DTV there is something
twiddling away on the quiet parts. But as I do my critical listening in
the ESL63's (I've only used phones) as I've not got this connected to
the PC as yet.

There is a bit of background hiss but the sound on both seems a tad
unpleasant.....
