net radio

I'm also a fan (and supporter) of Radio Paradise. You owe it to yourself to check out their lossless flac stream if you can and, yes, it sounds better than the 320 AAC stream. 

I did try to do just that but I can’t figure out how to do it on the AVR. I know I can do it on my computer, but the stream is received directly by the AVR over my home’s wi-fi. There’s no option, as far as I can tell,on the AVR, to choose a different codec option. I have read that there has been double-blind testing done in which listeners tried to distinguish, reliably and consistently, between CD and 320kbs AAC, and no one was able to do it. But you’re right I would like to hear the FLAC stream. For the record the AVR is a Yammy Aventage and the pre-amp section is feeding a Schiit Vidar amp which is driving a pair of Magnepan LRS speakers. The speakers are new and sound amazing. I've been an audiophile for forty years and I've never heard anything like them.

I have an internet radio. For me, this radio is perfect for overnight listening to an enormous number of stations from all over the world. It is designed for home or office use because it uses your wifi connection, not the airwaves. (Though it does pick up local FM stations also).

I live in a small town with terrible radio reception. Only a couple of horrible local talk stations, and only a few FM music stations. This small, good looking portable internet radio has changed my life. 
But now I'm too busy to listen to it.
