Are there any audiophile quality streaming options

I want high quality music options and was wondering if there are any on line streaming sites that offer high quality sound? I know low quality options are everywhere, but I want to choose music and listen to it on my home system without having to invest in my own server. Looking for your thoughts as to benefits and or lack there of for this option.
Thanks
Greg

Sfar,

Re your 3rd paragraph...couldn't agree with you more.

I've been enjoying Pandora One for almost 2 yrs now. I've been thinking of trying MOG out. Can you tell me what the human interface is like comparing it to Pandora please?

Love to hear from others also that use both of these.

Both MOG and Spotify Premium stream at 320 kbps, which isn't as high resolution as the bit rate of a CD at 1,411 kbps, but I find MOG streamed through a good DAC to be completely enjoyable even compared to a CD played through the same system.
Thank you for that. I did not realize the rate was that high.

I also agree with Sfar. I've been a Mog subscriber for about a year now - streaming through my Logitech Touch. It sounds terrific and, even though I can tell the difference between a CD and Mog, the ability to explore new music and try out an album before buying it makes it well worth the $4.99 per month subscription.

MOG ROCKS! I've been with them since day one and find the sound quality excellent.

I totally agree with Djohnson54's comments about being able to listen to a full CD before buying it. The $4.99 monthly fee has already paid for itself many times over from me buying terrible CDs.

Good information. Good points above about streaming from the internet. It does open up the ability to hear so much more music.
