Internet Radio: Audiophile or no?


I was interested in finding out whether people think Internet radio has much to offer an audiophile these days?

I would say yes. The sound quality is pretty good and the variety of music available is without equal.

wwoz is pretty good via the Roku Soundbridge. I was very pleasantly surprised.

It never sounded very good when I used to stream it direct off their web site from a PC prior though.

It is a great station though...always one of my favs.
"Pandora .... does NOT sound particularly detailed, airy, transparent or revealing"

I assume you play this via USB from computer to your system?

There is lots of detail, air and transparency with the hookup on my system with many many stations.

I use a Wifi connection from Roku Soundbridge on my system direct to the internet for internet radio stations. Radio Roku is the internet service used to catalog and provide access to the various stations.

Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to access Pandora or other personalized services with this setup.
