HiRes lossless FLAC Radio streams

I noticed the other day that the latest Lumin app update included links to a few dozen FLAC radio streams.  I have to say they sound really good, with some streaming up to 192 kHz/16bit at over 6mbps on my transport.  While the sound quality is good the content is lacking right now and I can't find much to my liking - however I haven't dug in very deep yet and I'm hoping the offerings expand over the coming months.  

Anyone else finding some really good hi-res streaming stations, particularly jazz, indie, rock?  Would like to also hear about other's listening impressions on these hi-res radio streams.

I tried the link.  Every station I clicked either didn’t work or restricted access

Lumin App 7.0.6 still requires a login. I have the latest IOS and have not seen the update you speak of. What is your app version?

Mine is the 7.0.6 version as well.  Do you have a TuneIn login ID that you can use on the Lumin app?  I'm wondering if that's required before the FLAC stations also show up.

The Jazz Groove, a treat station, offers FLAC streaming with a tax deductible donation. However one must stream the music through the app on the phone (after logging in) and Bluetooth it to the streamer. Unfortunately one can't login from the streamer, or at least from my streamer, a CA 851N.

Rather pick my own music.

I guess you're saying that you're anti-radio?  Radio is one of my main avenues for discovering new music.  It's also great to play in the background while I'm working.  I too of course play albums a lot as well.  Billions of people have enjoyed the radio for the past 100 years but to each his own ;-)  This wasn't intended to be a for or against radio thread. lol

Thumbs down for Radio "Paradise"
Too much greatest zits.  

@pjb255livecom To what purpose would pushing a lossless program thru a compressed medium like Bluetooth gain? Phooey.
