I have now put up a page that compares the dynamics and level
compression on FM with that on DAB. The page can be found at

And from that I quote;!...


"However around the start of the Proms in 2006

[snip]

I'd recommend people to read the actual article. Not to take just a quote
presented out of context. :-)

The reasons being the same ones that prompted me to write the article.
Namely that:

A) Simply considering bitrates and ignoring other factors means you fail to
take into account everything that can affect the audible results.

B) That when you *do* consider other factors - as the article does, but
Tony's quote omits - you might not come to the same conclusion as indicated
by the quote presented out of context.

C) That your conclusions might change from one radio (or TV) station to
another.


You ought to treat yourself to a digital satellite system Jim there're
sod all money now!. Most all have a SPDIF out for connection to an
external DAC....


Perhaps if you consider the entire article you will understand some of the
reasons that I have not yet bothered. :-)

Slainte,

Jim - still thorougly enjoying the proms on DTTV BBC4. :-)
