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 would interested to know if the Lumin as a Radio Paradise app or is it utilizing a streaming url?

Lumin uses a streaming url.  Prior to a few days ago you could only load stations through a TuneIn radio synch but it did allow for adding stations through custom url adds.  After the latest update recently about 50 FLAC stations showed up directly in the Lumin app, including four RP stations: Main Mix, Mellow Mix, Rock Mix, and World Mix.

NAIM has a special preset for RP. Love it, send them $. Curated “ radio is special at RP.

@tomic601   There are also now three NAIM FLAC stations that have appeared on the Lumin app - Naim Classical FLAC, Naim Jazz FLAC, and Naim Radio FLAC.

Looks like I have a lot to try out.

Three Easy - That is cool. The NAIM recording label has typically high sonic standards and good artists as well. Enjoy !,,,
