Default Radio 3 sound

What do people think of R3 sound quality right now (10:05 BST, 15 July
2006)? I'm listening to a Mozart violin concerto and getting (i) on DAB
noticeable "screeching" distortion on loud bits, (ii) on Freeview much
better but still some distortion of the same type, (iii) OK on FM apart
from the slight extra background (audible on headphones). I suppose (i)
is the disgusting recent reduction to 160 kb/s, but (ii) is worrying as I
thought the bit-rates were much higher on Freeview.
