Re: Considering that most digital radio is utter crap in quality...
Radio stations also use pre-emphasis to improve the upper audio frequency responses.
No, they do that to allow corresponding de-emphesis to scale back the FM noise, and given so little audio power is up there, its not a TX load issue.
Considering how crap many stations on DAB are, and the fact that many of us no longer hear much beyond 15kHz (if that) nor that many loudspeakers ever did it justice when we could, I don't think the extra 1.25dB of bandwidth is significant.
