Enhancing online radio station sound options

Thanks Willie. Can you say how your friend connects his system?

I realize. Thanks Phasecorrect. Btw, I am very sensitive to phase so bought a Spectral pre with a very clean phase reverse capability. I find the correct phase much more enjoyable.

Now learning about BBC quality by decoding only once, DAB, etc. A new world to me.

Hi. Have you used the Oppo?

Yes, thanks Willie. I listen to some classical FM on a tiny desktop radio or my notebook while working. Very low sound level; just enough to help me ignore serious tinnitus. I'm just wondering if FM sound over the internet can sound as good as my CD's? If so, the most economical ways to use my stereo system? Some FM channels have nice classical programming. Cheers.

Thanks Willie. I use a Lenovo Thinkpad-I will get details; a bit tight for time just now. Does the Bitfrost sound as good as a Oppo 105D? Happy holidays :-)

Thanks Schubert. I'm listening to it on my laptop now. Do you use it through your stereo?

Thanks Willie. Much appreciated. Cheers. Happy listening.

Schooby, I've just found "HDiRadio.com". Connects with "RADIO 1". WOW . They claim to broadcast at 256k--they claim is 8 times normal. The sound seems good on my Lenovo notebook computer through whatever this laptop uses for sound card. (I've never looked) It's playing some harpsichord at the moment and I'm impressed with the clarity. I was previously listening to a 50's and 60's channel through them and the sound of Patsy Cline was as clear - clearer- than I've ever heard from radio. Definitely good enough to be enjoyable. A happy surprise.

Politicians propound that incessantly so I think it's understandable. I am enjoying the programming - and lack of noise ie 'chatter' on WPR that you put me onto recently. Elegant enjoyment. An ongoing gift, thanks again.

Phase, glad to hear your FM rivals your HD tuner.
I am still enjoying my Hitachi FT920 tuner I bought new about "78.
But, I am very interested to know if using an OPPO 105D would improve the sound?

Hi Ps. Interesting.

That period is known for decent sound, my Hitachi is about 78/79.
