A friend let me borrow his Sony XDR-S3HD radio before he sells it on
eBay to try and recoup some of his money. *Trying it out I kept

no difference in audio quality between FM analog and FM “HD”.

On a larger radio, there is a definite improvement in audio, but one of the
big advantages is the near total absence of multipath in vehicles in motion.
