All DAB receivers will be obsolete in a few years' time
30th November 2006
The DAB system has recently adopted the new AAC+ audio codec, and existing
stations that use the old MP2 format will probably be switched off
completely in the UK in around 7-8 years' time. More to the point, however,
DAB radios being sold in the shops today will not be able to receive any of
the many new stations that will launch using the new AAC+ format in the
coming years; some of which will probably launch as soon as 3 years from
now.
However, DAB receivers that will support the new AAC+ codec will be
available from next spring, so if you want to buy a DAB receiver that will
be able to receive these new stations you would be best off waiting until
then.
Alex.
