Hopefully, the bitrates will be increased. In the testing that I've done, 32k DAB+ in AAC+ is only really suitable for speech. 48k is just about acceptable, but the minimum should be 64k really. And 128k for the closest transparency. Quality-wise legacy DAB MPEG2 is garbage, even at high bitrates. DAB will never come close to FM in terms of sound quality until you get to 128k AAC+ or better.
what are you on about?? have you not heard how thumping pointblank radio are on DAB. my car soundsystem is blowing up

I see what you mean wk end should be the UK legal radio section but pointblank is a good station with no change in style from the 90.2 years unlike the former pirates that got licensed on fm
