The issue with DAB is it is an old crappy codec that doesn't compress
the audio as well as modern codecs do. In order to maximise profit,
signals are encoded at very low bit rates and strangled bandwidth to
squeeze more in.

That is how some broadcasters choose to do it to save money. Same happens
on FreeView TV.

Not an inherent fault with DAB.

You might as well say a CD played on the average radio FM station sounds
nothing like it does at home. Due to the signal processing all
broadcasters use. That is nothing to do with the FM medium.
