Internet Radio on Audiophile Quality 2 Channel System


How do you guys feel about playing internet radio through your highly invested two channel analog system? You spend all that time and money to get the synergy right and too play internet radio? I'm just curious!

Been giving the “Super Stereo” hi res stations a spin via my Cambridge Evo 150. My first fling with high res. Very nice! 96khz 24 bit FLAC. 

If you have a higher resolution station like Radio Paradise there is nothing to not like. Lower res can be OK for some music but inferior for critical listening. Lower res may still be overkill for many devices people listen on, but for a good hifi it just means whatever is there you will hear.

 

I have good streaming and a Carver tx11a tuner which is pretty good and have had other good ones like Tandberg over the years. Radio is subject to noise and distortion and not many stations broadcasting with good quality these days. So radio is fine in the car but streaming rules at home and often in the car as well with Carplay, etc. As an old school kind of guy I still like radio though less so these days for music and hope it sticks around but I’m sure many younger folk could care less about music on the radio.
