DAB+ receivers can (and many do) display signal quality. Not playing distorted, noisy signals is a feature I greatly appreciate.

- guenthert 4mo agoSome more than others. E.g. Deutschlandfunk Kultur is broadcasted in decent quality, as is NDR3. Klassik Radio fares poorer, but that's due to the bandwidth allocated to them. Comparison here is FM, not FLAC.

At the same quality dab is still perfectly long after fm becomes gabled. It then vanishes. The problem with dab in early days was the lower strength, the poor quality decoding, and the lower bitratr than should be been used for the codec.
