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.

I listened at a level I'd use for problem checking - and nothing like some
would use. And not on my main system.

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

Very much so. At first, I thought I had a different problem, so listened
to a few known MP3 files I had on HD. Then did another download. And again.
Still the same, so concluded they are naff samples - or something wrong
with the playout.
