The problem is, it's never going to sound as good as your FM4. 
Ultimately, yeah the SB is great, but I don't see the point of internet
radio when you're listening to something you can get via FM.  The SB is
no more convenient than a tuner (OK, your Quad may not be remote
control, but how often do you change channel?), it's always going to
sound worse than FM until they broadcast 500+kbps FLACs (never), so
stick to your radio.

What really annoys me is that Radio 3 is broadcast via DAB at 160kbps,
which is a lower rate than the sound part of their TV channels
(256kbps).  It seems bizarre to have something where the audio is all
at worse quality to something where the audio is the side benefit. 
Actually, it doesn't annoy me - it just makes me glad I haven't bought
a DAB tuner! :)
