I tell people that for portables in good signal areas the main drawback of
dab is still that they use a lot of current. This seems to be a problem they
cannot solve. Surely someone out there can make a chip that is economic on
power. what is the problem exactly?

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. ;-)
