Ugh. MP2 at DAB bandwidth sounds even worse than FM, and HE-AAC is patent encumbered. Governments that allocate bandwidth for DAB/DAB+ are taking a slice of the RF spectrum and giving it to the HE-AAC owners for free, who in turn charge the people rent to use it. Well, they've made a non forward-compatible upgrade before when they implemented DAB+; maybe their next one will launch the first major rollout of Opus devices. Until then, I say "humbug!" Anyone could build an FM receiver, so this is a big step backwards.
