Q.

However, does anyone have any information that pertains to my
original query, about the Radio 3 broadcast chain, and specifically
what CD players/DACS do they use and is there any compression?

Don't know what players they use. However I would suspect that they
take the digital output, process that digitally, and then convert
that directly into the 'NICAM' digital signal for sending to the
transmitter chain. This will presumably then be decoded by
broadcast-equipment DACs for FM transmission.

I don't think there's any need for DAC at that stage: some FM exciters
are digital and take an AES3 signal directly.
