> They have a higher quality

That's how it is sold indeed, but not entirely true. There is definitely a better signal to noise ratio, but the sample rate is pretty bad which makes the quality lower than normal FM. It's only a 128kbs MP3/AAC stream!

It's only because people don't hear noise anymore they think the quality is better. Analog FM is by the way much more robust too as a signal.

A shame the government forces people to invest in lower quality qear..
