For me, it's not excellent, but it's because even though thousands have bought DAB up here, there is only one transmitter, so when you lose the signal going west or south, that's it, back to FM.

However, saying that, when it's working it's fabulous! When I went to Edinburgh, the choice was epic and no loss of quality whatsoever. If you do go down that route, choose the magnetic antennae as it sits head & shoulders above the stick on windscreen jobs.

Magnetic antennae? An external aerial? The normal one isn't up to the job?

The DAB signal would get about two feet on on it's own, so it needs a carrier wave to allow it to reach your fast traveling motor.

Normally, your FM antennae will suffice, but most DAB wirelesses have a completely different socket for the antennae so a different antennae is required and the mag mount job is high up on the roof and gets the best signal

Seems to have the same output (50W x4) so presumably similar sound?
