You're becoming like Nicolas Croiset. Do yourself a favour and stop being such a twat. 


Your joke is responsable of this discussion.

By your joke, you pretend sound at 112 kbps is as bad as phone
communication, so I say no !

I would say the sound quality of a phone conversions is generally less irritating than 128k DAB.

OK the Phone conversation probably has less treble, but at least it's codec is being used the way it was designed to be.

DAB on the other hand was not designed for 128k stereo, which probably explains the flat sound and the irritating artefacts.
