It might be appreciable at home, does it still apply in a moving vehicle? I personally can't tell the difference.
- giobox 6y agoI imagine for quite a few readers, car may be fanciest sound system they own and one of the only places they listen to FM radio in the first place. The extremely low bit rate used to broadcast some DAB stations is absolutely noticeable even on “cheap” equipment. The low bitrate issue is compounded further by DAB being mpeg 2 based, which is a hugely inefficient codec by modern audio standards. A 64 Kbps mono mpeg 2 audio stream is not great frankly, and common in DAB.
