Default Fox News 2012: HD Radio one of "The Biggest CES Flops of AllTime" LMFAO!!!!!!!!!

On Wednesday, January 11th, 2012, at 07:09:26h -0800, SmS 88 declared:

The iBiquity codec is based upon the AAC+ (HE-AAC) codec. "Scientific
testing by the European Broadcasting Union has indicated that HE-AAC at
48 kbit/s was ranked as "Excellent" quality using the MUSHRA scale.[8]


Since the iBiquity codec is *based upon* but not *is* the AAC+ (HE-AAC)
codec, it is not valid to use tests on the original AAC+ (HE-AAC) codec
as evidence that the iBiquity codec its-self delivers quality.
