I spoke today with WGBH engineers about many aspect of broadcasting and the quality that we, the end users are getting and among many other things he did pitched to me the idea that I am considering to try – the HD radio. According to him WGBH broadc...

The HD Radio for a first time in my own room. Hm…. I do not know what to say. I was listening my “far and ugly” WCRB station and it was “cleaner” in term of noise but it was very different sound. Something is not right with HD Radio and I canno...

Has anyone made any progress on the HD radio front?...

I did some listening of the station that reportedly has very high quality of HD Radio and I did not like the result at all. I sound like a normal stream of MP3 file, not particularly high rate of MP3. My WGHB station do feed the HD1 and HD2 with very...

Well, Doug
My attraction to HD Radio statred from the moment when I learned that my WGBH does one less step of analog compression for DH1 compare to FM and do not use limiting-out at HD2 for live-to-tape recordings. Very promising, isn’t it?&n...

Thanks for information, Gordon I am a skeptic about this DAB+. Whatever amount of kBits they select it will be still digitally compressed format. So, it will be one of the versions of our HD format. I presume it will be better then HD but I down tha...

Hi Romy: I did not find any computer-based HD Radio receivers. The following link to HD Radio receiver Manufacturers does not seem to list any IT firms: http://www.ibiquity.com/manufacturers/receiver_manufacturers So, I spent some time researching H...

[quote user="steverino"]FM is Analog Signal Processing vs DSP. The compression aspect is only really intrusive on orchestral works. Pop and jazz are already compressed and chamber music presents a more limited dynamic range if not limited contrast. B...

The fact that they are broadcasting digital streams over web has no impact over FM reception of cause. The problem is not “digital” but with the stations the embrace HD Radio. The HD Radio is very popular here in US and many do FM/HD simulcasts. ...

There is nothing to be stunned. This is norms. You spoke with Customer Relations people. They are semi paralegal BS artist or the glorified secretaries who are clueless and not very effective. You need to talk with somebody who do actions and who is ...

over here. By now there's no HD FM and digital radio uses other frequencies. My pity is that I only have ONE good classical station, but it still puzzles me how it can sound so good. Probably it has to do with compression. Once they broadcasted a con...

hi romy,yes, digital compression sucks and is the main reason hd radio sounds so sterile. the dildo analogy is quite appropriate, imo. but, if there's a station you enjoy that doesn't come in well, the xdr f1-hd does sound quite nice - if...

I guess you didnt have a chance to listen to the station broadcasting from the Met while in New York? Perhaps it is different. I get met broadcasts on satellite radio and the quality is horrendous but I guess thats a different story. Frankly, I...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Without any particular order: Gieseking with Barbirolli in 1939 is a phenomenal performance. Mistakably did not listen it for a long time as I was confusing it with the horrible Mengelberg–Gieseking performance of the same ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I was experimenting today with HD Radio and was listening WCRB. They played Rachmaninoff’s Piano concerto #3 that was very very good, surprisingly good and I was not able to recognize what it was. I looked at their playlis...

Why are audiophiles interested in FM radio? Because the quality of FM audio was satisfying until stations began to compete with each othe...

Jeremy, another few lead that I think might conceder.
Manly Labs has their 20-bit digital to analogue converter that uses the Pacific Microsonics processor inside. I was told that is available as the “street price” for ~$6K-$7K and it might be a “f...
