Highlight: "94% of DAB listeners thought DAB sound quality was at least
as good as FM;"

If one is listening on a 1 inch loudspeaker on an FM radio made in the PRC,
(with compulsory broken telescopic antenna) then it probably is difficult
to tell the difference.

Update on my DAB situation - the plumber brought round a portable DAB
set which worked, as people here suggested and proved the woman in the
local electrical shop wrong (this side of town anyway)

However it was quite unimpressive compared to a decent FM portable or
Freeview. Hard to tell if it was the signal or the tiny speaker, or of
course both. The top end sounded quite "crisp" to the extent of being
quite artifical, and the bottom end - well there wasn't one.

You .. would want too big a speaker on a DAB radio..
