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
Yep excellent except that Radio 3 and Classic FM are over on ASTRA at
28.2 east whilst Bayern and HR are on ASTRA 19.2 bit of a bummer but
nowt two LNB's and an offset arm and Diseq switch won't sort out
Get another on Hotbird at 13 east and even more comes out of the wood
work. France Musique even, at 256 K BBC please note...some hope..
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.
Err No not really;( Audiolab do a nice DAC but thats not cheap Behringer
do a Rackmount one but that doesn't look that good in the living room..
I assume that the DAC in a HiFi system would be better than I am likely to find
in a satellite receiver.
Yes but the self contained one It'll be good enough. After even Bayern
is at 256 K, no ones using linear PCM!..
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!
Its a very acceptable medium, IF and only if the bitrates are high
enough. And as you say plenty of bandwidth.
However there is still a lot of snobbishness around having a satellite
dish. Our neighbour loves Jazz and when I told him that he could get
around 3 good Jazz stations on sat, he looked downcast when I told him
he would "have" to have a dish!.....
