I doubt that DAB will come in as fast as they want Germany has stopped
building DAB transmitters and some
transmissions have stopped
They have some of the higher quality output as well.

A freeview box plugged into tv do a download of whats on in your area then
deleat tv channels then plug into your
pre amp much better quality

Classical FM is only decent channel missing

It is however available by satellite. There are also a couple of good German
stations: Bayern 4 Klassik and HR Klassik on Astra 1


Quite a number of satellite receivers provide a digital audio output. So far I
have found very little HiFi equipment that will accept a digital input. -
Suggestions welcome.

I assume that the DAC in a HiFi system would be better than I am likely to find
in a satellite receiver.

To my mind satellite is quite an acceptable medium for HiFi transmissions, since
HiFi equipment is typically in a fixed location, and there is room for plenty of
bandwidth!
