That's interesting, I mainly listen to BBC DAB and have been generally impressed with the quality so far but as you can see from your list they are mostly leading the pack in terms of bit rates/quality.
I wonder if the whole variable bit rate/codec question is why DAB transmitters aren't a 'thing' yet, perhaps it would require too much processing power to create a bit stream on the fly from a bluetooth input for a small 12v socket device.
Those of you that have installed the Xcarlink, how much work was it to install?
I may just try a decent FM transmitter in the meantime, they are incredibly cheap compared to other options.
