Since I don't know what codec they use, I can't say what they need to increase

to cut their number of channels by as much as one third to compensate for
the higher bit rate.


They use a ten-year-old, AAC-derivative codec in non-updatable hardware.
Many of today's codecs are greatly superior to the codec installed in
every "HD Radio" ever made.


CTaac+ no?
