It's a trade-off to be sure. But even now, every independent test of HD
Radio has shown the claims of improved sound quality over FM to be true.
Too many people don't understand that the proper Codec can provide
excellent quality audio at bit rates that digital radio employs.

Come on! Have you ever listened to this digital system? There is no
codec in the world that provides FM like quality at the bitrates digital
radio employs. And the HD radio codec isn't even among the best.

The issue is also the definition of "CD Quality."

No, FM radio is the norm for broadcasting. HD radio does not even
provide FM-like quality, so there is absolutely no issue with the
definition of CD quality.
