3MBS tell me that they cuurently do not know which bit rate is going to be used in their digital broadcast. They have a contract with another company which decides on how much bandwith is allocated. They are pushing for a high bandwith because they understand the type of customers they have are a more discerning listener. 3MBS is nearly all classical content. They are trying to get 192Kb/sec but think it may be 128Kb/sec. They will be usiing analogue mic at live broadcsts.

The Tangent Net-200 has a coax(spdif) out. The DAB+ will be decoded and the resulting digital signal will bypass the internal DAC. This info provided by the Tangent Distributor. This will be interesting as now the ADC can be left out of the chain of recording, ie, digital FM in to the tuner - encoded in tuner - digital out to PC card - recorded in digital and sent to an external DAC.
