I thought Musicam could use those higher sampling rates. Most of the
distortions I hear on DAB are compression artefacts (sometimes it's
barely transparent at 192kb/s). This is most likely because back when
the standard was designed, the cost/performance ratio was much higher on
DSPs, and an MP2 derivative was the best tradeoff between quality,
bitrate and computational workload.
I understand that DAB+ is supposed to be based around AAC or something
and should improve sound quality somewhat.
