I have a recently Modefferi modified McIntosh MR78 and for digital a Sony Z1ES. Which one sounds better depends entirely on the signal being received for the most part. Most digital signals are VERY compressed. Good FM broadcasting is almost extinct. So a better question might be which is the least worst? This state of affairs is a complete bummer for me. I have been a life long FM junkie.
FM vs. HD RADIO.... anybody think FM is better?
So I have a mint Marantz Model 20 tuner and a FM ANTENNA on the roof. I also have an HD radio tuner in my Marantz 8802a (Av surround processor)
Its it it just because I love my model 20 that I think my local classical station (WRR DALLAS)sounds better on FM than HD? (Both have access to roof antenna)
The HD Definitely is clear with zero static, but the FM sounds fuller and more real. It’s like with the FM your inside the concert hall and with the HD you just listening to a recording.
Maybe im crazy....
