The man, William Goldsmith, has spent the last 20 years of his life dedicated to making Radio Paradise what it is today. Check out this interview with him. Later in the vid he talks about his dedication to SQ.
Streaming Tidal/Qbuzz Vs Internet Radio
My question is, why do some of the radio channels on my streamer sound better than Tidal or Qbuzz ? I have an Innuos streamer to a Schiit Yiggy and subscribe to both Tidal and Qbuzz. I listen to Radio Paradise and Dot 1 FM , and they have better sound quality than the paid services. Although this is not the case with most radio stations these two sound very good to me. Granted they play at a slightly higher volume, but when I adjust for this I still get a better soundstage, more detail and greater bass. When I play the radio channels on my small system I have to lower the subwoofer volume. On my larger system I do not run subs. So I’m curious if you’ve noticed this too, and any explanations would be appreciated. Cheers , Mike B.

https://www.hiresaudio.online/radio-paradise/ 4th paragraph: "In April 2021, they announced that they had teamed up with BluOS and MQA to provide 24-bit 96kHz HiRes on BluOS enabled hardware such as Bluesound, NAD Electronics, DALI loudspeakers and Monitor Audio. So far, the station is still only broadcasting MQA encoded CD Quality files via BluOS commenting on their Listener Forum that until there is a greater availability of HiRes originals they will continue with 16-bit files."
