:) Why restrict one's sources to a local transmitter when the Internet
:) provides global digital radio & tv ?
:)
:)1. Try getting high quality internet radio in your car without an expensive
:)and not-dependable GPRS subscription
:)
:)2. Try getting the same in your pocket
:)
:)3. Try getting broadband internet out in rural areas (other than satellite)
:)
:)DAB is great, and it works, could do with better bandwidth on some stations
:)but the sound quality tradeoffs are there with every medium and format.

Analogue seems to cover most of that.

:)it'll improve though - its not like its incapable of better data rates - and they can transmit any data, its only a serial stream... (why mpeg layer 2 audio baffles me though...)
:)

It'll be superceded tomorrow - or was that yesterday - digital tv with
the picture turned off !

:)just buy a good external DAC and be done with it. then the lense on your CDP can be pushed along by ants, and the cat can urinate on its DAC, and it will STILL sound the same as the day you bought it for 20ukp...

You was robbed ! Last cd player I bought was £12 and it included a DAC
- which I think I used once !
Oh ok, it didn't come with a PSU, I s'pose but came with a standard
connector for a standard psu.

Local recording studio tells me they downgrade from 2" tape to CD.
They also use valve componented kit.

"properly" ! hehe.

:)Enjoy your end user analogue of whatever type - of course it can give

:)made within the last decade or so originated in digital.

No - analogue 2" tape still in use.
