Tune-In Stations With Great Sound


Using the Tune-In function/app, which jazz, classical, and rock stations do you feel have great SQ? 80’s New Wave too would be great…
Thanks.

Most of us use a streamer (much better sound than a PC/laptop... iPad) and Qobuz... There are thousands of internet channels with rebook CD quality sound or better. The better your streamer / system the better sound you will hear. 

Go for the stations with the highest bit rate.  WFMT here in Chicago broadcasts at 320 bps and sounds a lot better than the analog feed.  Somehow Radio Venice, at 128 bps, manages to sound excellent as well

I use tune radio to find new music then put it in Tidal playlists. WXRT Chicago is on of our family’s favorites.

I do stream using a Node Icon and Tidal, but for music discovery and listening throughout the day, I like ‘radio’. Keeping it to Tune-In via the Bluesound app makes it a whole lot easier for my wife to navigate.

Yes- WXRT is one I’ve found also and like.

Thanks for the responses so far.

mainly main stream jazz but varied programming on Saturday evening and Sundays

I have met their engineer (and some of their on air personalities) and they really pay attention to their sound quality

Thanks everyone, I've ‘favorited’ those mentioned and will add them to my listening repertoire.

 

I find for New Wave fans like my wife, the station with decent sound and the most varied playlist is 80s80s Wave.

I put on the Toronto jazz station Erik recommended and was shocked! to hear a commercial for KEF speakers. I haven’t heard a commercial for audio equipment in years…

Radio Venice is THE best sounding classical feed on TuneIn. I listen to it each day for hours, as I work from home. It also has by far the finest playlist of any classical stream, again by a huge margin.

I thought Tune In sounded pretty dull.  I have the apps to a few of my favorite stations on my phone and tablet.  I will use them at work or sometimes plug the phone into my DAC. 

I mainly use my Vault's Audicy app for radio lately. Sounds pretty good. I think there is an Audicy app for PC and Mac too
