I always love this niave belief that by moving to DAB+ (as demonstrated in the above article) we'll suddenly get wonderful audio quality and it will be a huge improvement. I'd like to think it would be, but frankly I don't believe it. DAB could have better bitrates right now - but the fact that some commercial stations are ridiculously low bitrates, speaks volumes to me. Commercial radio is run by accountants - not sound engineers after all. Of course, I'm biased. I have two DAB radios myself and I love them to bits. My Bug hovers up comedy from Radio 4 and BBC 7 that I'd overwise miss, as well as waking me up in the morning, whilst my Evoke 2 has recently been relocated to the kitchen so that it can blast out 6music whilst I'm cooking :) - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
