Default Micro hi-fi with DAB?

Thanks for everyone for your replies. That's been very helpful.

The Freeview option sounds most promising, used with a micro hi-fi with an
aux input.

I'd be interested to know why the digital radio quality is better with
freeview than with DAB systems. Is the broadcast of greater bit-rate or is
the digital decoder of better quality? I believe freeview radio and DAB are
two different broadcasts. Actually I remember seeing some Freeview boxes
that also have DAB decoders incorporated.


Higher bitrates, all important to audio quality in digital transmission
systems, especially where MP2 coding is used...
