If DAB was a modern technology that might make sense. However, it was developed in the 1990s around the MP2 codec. It's roughly as old as the web.
You'd not choose DAB if you were doing digital radio today.
- kristofferR 12y agoNorway is using DAB+, which is based on the modern HE-AAC codec. We were going to use the old MP2-based DAB, but switched to DAB+ pretty quickly. Right now most channels are being transmitted in either DAB or DAB+ (DAB+ devices can receive both), but DAB+ is the future and DAB is going away. It's going to suck for the early DAB adopters though, who's soon going to be left with incompatible radios.
