Be aware of the drawbacks too
The DAB radio is criticised on certain grounds. The original quality of the sound may change when the analogue signal is converted into digital signal. Most of the music radio stations broadcast programs only in mono format instead of stereo format. When you are away from the limited coverage, you may not be able to receive signals properly. This may lead to poor broadcasting. The DAB coverage area has to be expanded which is a major drawback. The cost of transmitting analogue to digital is higher than FM in DAB. You have to utilise more power for accessing DAB.
