"[...] is that occasional moment of "hey, I like that, who is it?"
On Classic FM you are likely to find that the DAB text is just referring you to their web site. Even when the text is giving a title it always omits the performer's name. Even a piece's title is often reduced to several symbols of (n) where 'n' is a track or movement number.
FM seems to be able to carry small amounts of text - so why don't they at least send the same text that way?
Within easy reach of London - my terrestrial TV reception stopped when they switched off the analogue service. DAB quite often burbles and even cuts out for periods - yet the same radios then have no problem with the FM signal.
The radio in the bedroom is played at low volume. If it is switched to DAB then an internal fan automatically starts - and that is noticeable in the quiet environment. Presumably Sony found it necessary because of the extra heat generated in DAB mode.
Four DAB/FM receivers in the house. They were all bought second-hand - the DAB was incidental as FM proves to be the preferred mode.
