"DAB gives CD-quality sound if you reach a bit-rate of 192,000 bits a
second (192kb/s)"

This is wrong isn't it? Isn't the CD bitrate 256k/bs?


As they say: do the math:

2 channels times 44,100 samples per second times 16 bits per samples is???

1,411,200 bits per second.



Further to the OP's question, DAB is compressed, and CD is raw.

So one would expect the DAB rate to be lower. The big question
is (of course) how much lower.
