Okay....right.... thanks everyone for your interesting comments on the
merits/demerits of DAB (which I still don't like the 'sound' of).

However, does anyone have any information that pertains to my original
query, about the Radio 3 broadcast chain, and specifically what CD
players/DACS do they use and is there any compression?

Can we leave DAB for another thread please?

Thanks.

Well I'm afraid that DAB does come into it, well digital that is and
this is important.

As to the CD players the BBC actually use I believe they might use the
Denon broadcast series, can't remember the actual model number

Not sure about Radio 3 specifically, but it seems that almost every time you
see a radio studio on TV it is pro Denon models that are in use - the
current models are, I believe, the DN-961FA or the DN-951FA (cart version of
961).
