Vendee Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I assume you want DAB for the bigger range of stations and not better sound quality? I've not been impressed with DAB in my Fiesta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatto Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I've always found FM to be far superior quality compared to DAB. I think the cutoff point in DAB is at about 14KHz (15KHz for FM) and the stereo imaging is not so good. The only point I can see for wanting DAB is for more stations, but I only listen to about 3 anyway and they are on the superior FM broadcasts.

Pullock Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Had our new Focus for 6 days and I've already switched back to FM, DAB is good but it cuts out so much it's pointless using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jace1969 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 My DAB seems ok,had a few weak places but seems clear and a few stations i can only get on DAB so so far its ok. Plus i like the look of the Sony unit the piano black with the white lights at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevo123 Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 Thanks for the replies, probably wont bother, stick to using spotify through bluetooth. I only really wanted DAB for 6 music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is pretty much the only reason I listen to DAB, although I have found that Absolute and Absolute 90s playing some pretty good music too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
