IBOC FM is a mixed bag. It doesn't sound all that wonderful, but again
I think most of the FM sound quality issues have to do with overprocessing
more than anything else, and digital transmission doesn't do anything

about
that.


I am "in the building" with one of these, and on the available receivers, FM
IBOC has definite advantages, one you realize you are hearing audio without
the preemphasis curve we are used to hearing on FM. That done, it sounds
better to everyone who has heard real-world music programming on it.

IBOC AM sounds pretty awful to my ears. Much worse than good wideband AM
transmission with a good receiver (which is something hardly anyone here
will ever get a chance to hear, I am sorry to say).


While it will take time to enter the market, the sound of AM IBOC now is
very, very good. When running music on the one of these that is also in the
building, it sounds better than some local FMs.
