Enhancing online radio station sound options

Thanks Willie. Much appreciated. Cheers. Happy listening.

Ptss, I live in the NE area of the Twin Cities metro and can
pick up the signal from UW-River Falls about 20 miles away as the crow flies, using a Terk amplified antenna on my 3rd floor condo balcony.

Schooby, I've just found "HDiRadio.com". Connects with "RADIO 1". WOW . They claim to broadcast at 256k--they claim is 8 times normal. The sound seems good on my Lenovo notebook computer through whatever this laptop uses for sound card. (I've never looked) It's playing some harpsichord at the moment and I'm impressed with the clarity. I was previously listening to a 50's and 60's channel through them and the sound of Patsy Cline was as clear - clearer- than I've ever heard from radio. Definitely good enough to be enjoyable. A happy surprise.

Now learning about BBC quality by decoding only once, DAB, etc. A new world to me.

One of the strangest thing about the USA is most Americans always assume we have the best of anything.
If you live overseas for any length of time it dawns on you that this is seldom true.
