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

http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/HFN/DABvs...ewithlike.html


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. :-)

Yes understand that it was all about processing and no real reason from
Auntie as usual why its done differently on FM and not DABble and
DTV.....


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.

Indeed.. Tho bitrates are very much a digital broadcast problem as is
transcoding etc..


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.

Its made to point out that old auntie BBC hasn't changed her "knows
best" ways over the years despite all the bull**** she dispenses..


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

Indeed they might..


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. :-)


Ummm... thats not to receive UK digital radio, but that from France and
Germany and other European countries who have higher broadcast
standards....

Slainte,

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

Indeed.... and as popular as ever.. The few I've been to this year were
packed!...

Summer.. what there was of it is --officially-- over once the Proms have
finished..
