OK - the chip itself doesn't do HD ----

Granted - HD radio sure does require a decent tuner to work at all. But this would have to go a long way to be as good as the Sony CX-113_.

Note that it also supports DRM, which is digital radio that actually works.

Covers LW and SW too - wonder what type of audio 'bandwidth' you can get on AM?
Also, I wonder why they don't spend 5 cents and add NOAA WX Radio reception as well - that would be used in the USA more than SW & LW?

I thought DRM is only mono - so it wouldn't work for music formats.

Incorrect!

DRM has a stereo mode and demonstrated it in its early days. One of the long-distance tests had such strong reception they decided to test the stereo mode and it worked nicely. I have the audio sample and it sounds better than AM-HD.
