My installation was designed from the ground up with this in mind.  I 
knew the future was some kind of DAB, and that DAB is going to be 
bit-reduced perceptual coding.

It should come to no surprise to anyone paying attention that this would 
be an issue.  My sources are linear (except for remotes & spots that 
come in as .mp3's).

This fact probably accounts for why I'm not hearing the serious 
artifacting issues that everyone reports at 96 KBPS on my stations. 
...That is, until an .mp3 file plays.   Remotes come in on ISDN, and the 
quality is so different from the studio setting that the artifacts are 
the least of what listeners hear.
