DAB+ PC/USB Tuner Options for Integration with MC?
« on: March 31, 2017, 01:49:26 am »

Hi guys,

Is this even possible? If I can find a half reasonable PC/USB DAB+ tuner can it be interfaced with MC?

Don't you guys have DAB in the states? The SQ is much clearer and more detailed than FM. I was just wondering if I got a DAB+ PCIE or USB tuner if I could use MC to drive it?

Not sure in you're in the UK, as you are asking about DAB+ I suspect not. The quality of DAB (note no '+') in the UK is inferior to that of FM  :( Too many stations, poor data rates per station, many not in stereo and poor sound quality.  They even had to drop the 'CD Quality' tag line after it was challenged, as it simply isn't anywhere near.

Why not just use internet radio streams rather than a DAB+ receiver? They work well for me, the ones I listen too are good quality, some are excellent quality, and MC handles them no problem.
