You'd have to check the bitrates used on the various online BBC stations, and compare it to DAB to try and get an idea of a comparison.
But bearing in mind the different compression systems (Real Audio vs. Mpeg L2) it will be hard to do. As a country we have the worst DAB quality of anywhere in the world and I predict it will get worse still, as time goes on, since the economics of the service almost guarantee it, so I suspect it's a bit of 6 of one, half a dozen of the other! Neither come remotely close to the FM broadcasts, in terms of quality, I wonder if a way could be found to stream a feed from an FM tuner to the SB for best quality? That all said, the convenience and access of either DAB or the Internet-based stations are a huge bonus to me, and the 'Listen Again' stuff really adds the icing on a great cake! Andy. -- Andrew L.
