DAB is a bit of a dud. Poor coverage and, as per, quantity over quality with notably inferior sound compared to FM thanks to bit rates that are simply too low for good quality music. It also puts much more of the power requirement onto the receiver which makes a DAB radio a poor replacement for any small portable FM one. So whether you want good quality audio on your home equipment or good battery performance on your portable radio, it’s inferior in every way.
