We actually have a very easy way of checking for *gross* distortion -
the time pips on R4. Assuming you know what clean sine wave sounds
like, that is. Try playing those back from vinyl...


What do they sound like on low bitrate DAB 'tho;?...


Rather better than multipath FM...


IS it that bad?.


Makes me wonder if you've ever listened to R4 on DAB. The pips are pretty
clean. Sine wave at that frequency isn't a problem even at the sadly low
kbps. But it very often is on FM - especially when reception isn't
perfect.

Did you ever get that odd problem with R4 sorted?..


Oh as usual it gets sorted when someone pulls their finger out.
