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.

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.

Check out the station web sites direct. WXRT Chicago has a listen tab snd the quality is excellent. Another I have on my iphone is HiDef Radio app. Not sure if they still offer it as I have had people day they can’t find it.

Yeah, I'm personally not digging the content of Radio Paradise.  The sound quality is fantastic however - maybe they will consider adding more stations.
