FGOKURULES Posted October 28, 2006 CID Share Posted October 28, 2006 Yo im interested in upgrading my sounds in my car and was wondering if any 1 has an Hd-Radio, is it worth it? is it the next generation of radio? I know from research that regular f.m. sends about 96k's of audio quality which is near cd,, Yeah ok I know thats bull, But does any 1 know the bitrate of an Hd-Radio broadcast? Give a little insight if you can.

tommie gorman Posted October 28, 2006 CID Share Posted October 28, 2006 It sounded like this is what you might be looking for. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD_Radio Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/16081-has-anyone-tried-hd-radio-and-is-it-really-that-great-how-does-it-work/#findComment-180777 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGOKURULES Posted October 28, 2006 Author CID Share Posted October 28, 2006 iv'e read that I wanted to know from users experience, and it still doesn't really give any tech info behind it just a-lot of broadcast specs nothing really pertaining to sound quality and usefullness Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/16081-has-anyone-tried-hd-radio-and-is-it-really-that-great-how-does-it-work/#findComment-180779 Share on other sites More sharing options...
php Posted October 28, 2006 CID Share Posted October 28, 2006 I haven't tried it, but I can tell you 96kbps is nowhere near cd-quality... cd quality is somewhere around 1441kbps (i forget the exact number) Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/16081-has-anyone-tried-hd-radio-and-is-it-really-that-great-how-does-it-work/#findComment-180792 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give a little insight if you can. i havent really tried it, but ive heard it, and its suppose to be about 600kbps, but its probally more like 350-400, you can hear the difference, but its probably not worth it right now.

Guest kamil234 Posted October 28, 2006 CID Share Posted October 28, 2006 oh, yeah..forgot about that.. Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/16081-has-anyone-tried-hd-radio-and-is-it-really-that-great-how-does-it-work/#findComment-180803 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGOKURULES Posted October 28, 2006 Author CID Share Posted October 28, 2006 So I saw that Hd-Radio is supposed to be capable of 5.1 surround sound,, which is a load of bull, most car audio systems are only stereo anyway. and I really doubt music bands are recording theirs songs in 5.1 surround sound.... So has any one else have a reason to go Hd-Radio Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/16081-has-anyone-tried-hd-radio-and-is-it-really-that-great-how-does-it-work/#findComment-180835 Share on other sites More sharing options...
