Anything you read on that website should be taken with a pinch of
salt. The guy running it seem to have a huge chip on his shoulder
when it comes to DAB, especially anything to do with bitrates and
audio quality.
FWIW, the DRDB has this to say:
"The proposal being submitted to ETSI allows for the parallel use of
both audio coding options and ensures that existing listeners and DAB
digital radios will not be disrupted and receivers which include the
new high efficiency codec will also decode all standard MPEG Audio
Layer II audio services. "
and
"In more developed markets where DAB has achieved significant
penetration including the UK, Denmark and Norway, broadcasters intend
to continue to broadcast all digital radio stations using MPEG Layer
II for the foreseeable future. "
