HiRes lossless FLAC Radio streams


I noticed the other day that the latest Lumin app update included links to a few dozen FLAC radio streams.  I have to say they sound really good, with some streaming up to 192 kHz/16bit at over 6mbps on my transport.  While the sound quality is good the content is lacking right now and I can't find much to my liking - however I haven't dug in very deep yet and I'm hoping the offerings expand over the coming months.  

Anyone else finding some really good hi-res streaming stations, particularly jazz, indie, rock?  Would like to also hear about other's listening impressions on these hi-res radio streams.

I am a dedicated RP Flac streamer and financial supporter. Bill does excellent curation at RP. If you like the station be sure and donate $$ or buy products from their page. They even have a facility where you can upload images that display along with songs as they play with certain apps (their choice though).  You can also make song suggestions if the artist is not in the rotation but Bill is purdy persnickety about what he accepts. Check it all out here https://radioparadise.com/home. Example, the Bryston BDP series utilize and app that will display album art. Roon just uses the flac URL and does not display album art but does do the title and artist.

I would interested to know if the Lumin as a Radio Paradise app or is it utilizing a streaming url?

@pjb255livecom To what purpose would pushing a lossless program thru a compressed medium like Bluetooth gain? Phooey.

If their app runs on an iPad should be able to go digital out to a DAC
