I'd disagree. A mate of mine makes recordings from DAB and plays them on CDs in his car. The poor quality irritates me instantly.

And here's my basic point. A kitchen radio will sound pretty crap whether it's FM or DAB. In fact, a poor, hissy FM signal will sound noticeably worse than a DAB radio with a good signal, as digital is pretty much all or nothing.

But the compression (and it's low bitrate MP2, remember) means that if you are listening to the transmission on a decent hi-fi, FM sounds far better. It's simply not possible to get good quality from DAB.
