64K mono would be about as crystal clear as 128 stereo, no? That's
crystal clear to most people.


A 128 k DAB stream uses mono with a bit of panning information to derive
the stereo.
Stereo is only available on DAB from 192 kbps. upwards.

I listen to 32 K web streams which are
great for all but most critical applications.


They could be 32k AAC+ which is not like FM or anything but some people
can enjoy music at that rate.
