depends on the extent to which your last statement is a sweeping
generalisation. I don't find that the sound of R3 or BBC4TV on DTTV
generally have a "metallic sound". Nor do I generally find this to be
the case for R3 on DAB.


Well, at 192 kbps (including overhead) MP2 does not really sound very
natural to me.


That may well be so. :-)

However it remains the case that both DTTV and DAB R3 generally sound quite
good to me, and given repeated comparisons and free choice, I've ended up
feeling that DTTV/DAB for R3 tend to deliver better results for my ears.

I agree that this result is perhaps surprising. However people do keep
saying we should "trust our ears" and "rely upon the evidence", so I'm just
basing my views on that - plus perhaps being aware that FM has limitations
that people generally seem not to be aware of. :-)

Slainte,

Jim
