I've just started to listen to LIVE 365 on my laptop (wireless connection to net). Could an Oppo 105D improve the sound so I could play through my system in decent quality? If not Oppo; other considerations? Thanks.
Phase, glad to hear your FM rivals your HD tuner. I am still enjoying my Hitachi FT920 tuner I bought new about "78. But, I am very interested to know if using an OPPO 105D would improve the sound?
My opinion is that it doesn't matter what you are using to listen to online radio it is not going to sound hi-fi. The reason being is that most radio stations only broadcast at 128Kbs mp3. A little better than a really strong FM signal but no where near CD quality. No DAC or jitter removal device will fix that.
I personally use a Sonos connect because it's interface is really nice and has the ability to connect to other services like Spotify and Tidal which are higher quality sound.
