I'm actually not even sure just what the advantage of DAB is over
conventional FM, from a user's point of view. Yes, agreed that you can
receive lots of different programmes, but how many people never move their
car radio off their favourite local or BBC programme ? If the OP's partner
just wants some background music whilst at work, I would have thought that a
little FM radio would have been just fine. I really don't think that you
will tell the quality difference between DAB and FM, unless using very high
quality 'phones or earbuds, and is that the point anyway ?

I will telephone my shop chum tomorrow, and ask which ones he stopped
stocking, and what he now considers to be a good buy. Bear with me, and look
out for the next installment ...

Prime motivation is ...

BBC7.

(and maybe Mojo, but it's not in our area for DAB)

We get these stations at home via freeview.
