[cma-l] DAB

[Associated Broadcast Consultants]

Yes - 80k mono sounds reasonable (ish) and is maximally compatible with
radio sets.  DAB+ is only available on a proportion of the radios out there
- not sure if anyone knows the proportion - say 50% at a guess?   Obviously
48k stereo will sound better than 32k stereo.  I'd guess the carriage
charge is more or less proportional to the data rate required - so you have
a choice to make there.

If you are interested, you can listen to samples of the different formats
on a Blog we did a 2 or 3 years back.
