Best Classical Stations on Internet Radio

There have been many excellent posts on good internet radio stations. The station's content is all over the map, as is sound quality.

Wonder what are the best internet stations these days for classical programming, especially the stations getting closer to hi res.

A few of mine are: Radio Suisse Classic, Concertzender, Classical Music America, Linn Classical, MR3-Bartok Radio, WXEL (W. Palm Beach).

Any suggestions by members?

I like BR-Klassik (Germany) most of all with DR-Klassisk (Denmark) second.

MR3-bartok Radio is outstanding except when they go to all-talk (and I don't understand Hungarian).

For higher bitrates, the AVRO channels are OK and RCO-Live is excellent.

WQXR sucks as much on the Internet as it does on FM.

Ok, I guess I suck.
Although Linn Classical has a higher bit rate and, therefore, better sonics, it doesn't present the world class performers that other stations I like do play.

Nothing was directed at you, Ncarv. It was directed at the "personalities" and programming of WQXR.

KUSC is one of my favorites, but it's only 128kbps. Fine for casual listening.
