"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?


CD is about 1,4 Mbps. DAB does not give anything like CD quality at 192
kbps. At 256 kbps most people won't notice much difference, so you could
call that "near CD" quality.
