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,



It depends on the MP3 software you're using to playback. Some of the MP3
players hide the splat, while others don't.
