If thats all you need and the claimed perfick DAB reception isn't up to

from poor audio quality, OK not that much of a problem for a bathroom
radio, the biggest gripe is power consumption and hence battery life!..


R3 uses a higher data rate than any other and is likely to sound just
fine. As will R4 being mainly speech.
I also wonder just how many would notice the other stations low data rate
on a portable. My guess is very, very few. Especially in a blind test. ;-)
