In other words the BBC is using only 13-bit words at around 40khz ie 520kbps but this bitrate - in KBPS - is a LOT higher than the rate the BEEB ever proposed for R3 via DAB and is higher still now.No?
I was not suggesting that digital is bad per se, while your implication is that all digital is great / as if the word has this effect on your judgement.
The 13 bit digital stream used by the BEEB to distribute Analogue FM IS far better because it contains far more information - than DAB was ever going to - and more again than it does now, in the UK!
Mind your step!
