Have a look at reviews for the Arcam rBlink.

Chebby I agree with your points WhatHiFi will need to have a new LoFi section. I spent money on a tuner and want to use my current set up. We are being short changed with DAB. The original feed from JazzFM was 128k a while back but is now no better than a talk radio station at 64k mono...

I am trying to figure out where this is all going. I posted a comment (Dumbed down DAB) back in 2011. I emailed Jazz FM and as you did and received a poor response trying to justify how I would be better with more info at 80k mono (at that time) instead of 128k stereo...Eh! I noticed on a...

Agree with comments on DAB SQ. I was looking forward to more from the industry. I bought one of the first Pure tuners so I could listen to Jazz FM (more Soul/funk music) which was DAB only up in Scotland and was originally 128k and accetable. Having forked out a few more £s for an Arcam tuner I...

dfa2124 Do you have any software to check on the streaming bitrate. I am assuming that you found out the better quality site by other means. Is ther a good source of info on this. Have had a search around but not been able to find software to check the internet bitrate. I have been using...

Anyone have an easy way to check the quality of the adio being streamed through from online Radioplayers?

Agree with the comments about jargon after reading the JazzFM "engineers" explanation up sell on mono DAB. Really feel a Meldrew moment coming on MajorFubar I am now using online even if it means short term having Lap top via USB. Last straw today was finding Smooth FM had gone missing. When...

MajorFubar What quality do you reckon you have online with JazzFM? 128k Any other quality sites to recommend.

I read the reply from Matt on the Jazz (FM)? forum and replied back saying his engineer made a good attempt at up selling the move to National. Mono beats Stereo ?? The article more or less said that DAB had never been great and 80k Mono was a step up. Maybe good for a casual listen on Pure...

Seem to be short changed with Jazz FM which up till a few days ago was stereo albiet joint 128k. They have taken the decision to "go National" and are now 96k mono! Looks like using the internet is the way forward. Anyone in the Glasgow area had issues with this and the drop in signal strength?:mad:
