Not an inherent fault with DAB.
The fault with DAB is you cannot upgrade the codec to anything
acceptable by 2019 standards. So we're stuck with a poorly performing
codec and then have bean counters forcing low bitrate streams. Bad codec
and then constraining the bit rate is a recipe for ****ness.


Ever read about the AAC + or DAB 2 codec?...


Yes.

Can I upgrade the built my car audio system that only has DAB to DAB+? No.



Yes true but i don't think that AAC was around at the time..

Around the early 90's when DAB was being formulated..


80s
