I’ve streamed RP in the FLAC setting over the RP app on my iPhone > Airport Express > my main system for a couple of 2 hour-ish stretches now over the past 48 hrs.. Sounds very good to me...the high freq. seems ever so slightly rolled off compared with 16 bit AIFF vinyl conversions from my computer via the same AE...same with CD files ripped to the same computer. I’m not “digital audio savvy” enough to know whether this might be some sort of Airport Express bottleneck though (or, indeed, whether it might be improved Sonics — it sounds more euphonic in a “balanced” sort of fashion the longer I listen.)
RadioParadise streaming FLAC
Any RadioParadise listeners on here? RP recently announced lossless FLAC streaming through their mobile apps and their Apple Desktop application. There is no Lossless streaming URL at this time.
I normally stream it through the RP 320acc URL to a Wyred4Sound 96K moded SONOS Connect then coax to an external DAC. I just connected up an old AppleTV and redirected the desktop RP application to the AppleTV for some A/B testing, also set the app to lossless. But the desktop app is not the same track as the URL and I have been sick the last few days and my head feels like a balloon so A/B testing is suboptimal to say the least.
Anyone else messing around with this?
