So much of the quality of HD radio is station/broadcaster specific, imo, that such generalizations are meaningless. I listen almost exclusively to a single station, WRTI in Phila., using a DaySequerra broadcast monitor (with indoor antenna, btw) that receives both FM analog and HD multicast. That station puts out 7700W, simulcasts only 2 HD streams, is 17 mi distant from me, and sounds GLORIOUS in HD. Analog FM is quite good also, but a bit noisy. Quality of other stations not as good. I consider myself fortunate.
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....
