Internet Radio on Audiophile Quality 2 Channel System

For critical listening, never. For casual background music, all day...every day. 

Also very useful in building playlists, keep the station's website open so you can identify a song that you like. Then add it to a playlist from your streaming service. 

Just using emmLabs NS1 streamer. Access to radio stations worldwide. In addition, you have all other streaming services and your own files. It will be hard to consider a tuner again.

I’m shocked at how good the Grace Digital Link sounds through my system. It not only provides internet radio, but also offers built in pandora, Iheart, Amazon music apps, and a few more...has a digital coax out which I connect to a v90 dac. For what I paid for it, $179, I cannot complain. Also use a 1970's Kenwood 4007 tuner, and yamaha T1 tuner, the sound is fantastic forcFM radio. Listen to mostly WCRB, a Boston classical music station. The transmitter is located in Lawrence Mass...some 70 miles away from me....however using my attic antenna, I'm getting a signal strength of 4.5 out of 5 on the Kenwood, no static or drift, unreal. 

Radio Paradise streams MQA, other than that if I want to listen to FM I use a good old tuner. 

I enjoy Internet radio a lot on all my systems. I only stream these days because living in a rural area there’s too much noise through a tuner kind of like the surface noise on LPs. What makes The experience pleasurable is the background information and context that the DJs on WRTI and WQXR provide.

Even though I am aware that the ultimate sound quality is not there it is amazing how much I can enjoy the music when I just focus on the music and not the sound quality.
