"DAB sounds worse than FM" wrote

Rubbish. The engineers thought the broadcasters would use the high bit
rate levels needed to provide high audio quality, but they completely
ignore the cost aspects, because DAB is extraordinarily expensive to
transmit, which is one of the main reasons why such low bit rates are used
in the UK.


"Rubbish" yourself!

It's only "extraordinarily expensive to transmit" because Arquiva has an
effective monopoly on transmission, so it makes bugger-all difference what
system is used, and indeed whether it's digital or analogue, to these high
costs of transmission.
