Unfortunately, a device of that caliber is a bit out of my price range. 
I never use the "Insignia" radio I have because the "HD" artifacts come 
right through its small speakers, and IBOC can't be defeated. 

It takes a great deal of effort on the part of stations to synchronize, 
equalize, and properly set levels on the audio between the analog and 
the digital. And I got the answer about why IBOC radios have such poor 
sounding analog sections (just any standard radio can beat the pants off 
an "HD Radio" when it comes to analog performance): it is an attempt to 
prevent the analog from sounding better than the digital signal when the 
radio flips back and forth!

Oh, and last I checked, that area station is STILL silent on the IBOC 
HD1 audio!
