The issue with DAB is it is an old crappy codec that doesn't compress

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.


The difference in sound between CD and vinyl has nothing to do with the
media too.
Its down to the different processing needed to get a reasonable sound
out of vinyl that they don't have to do on CDs.
CDs being closer to the original but some still prefer the distortion in
vinyl.
