Popular Post Melvin Posted June 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2019 I'm a fan of this listener-supported Jazz station, which is a service of the Foundation to Advance Jazz, and listen daily. The music is of the laid-back variety, great for early mornings/late nights and I've discovered a lot of beautiful music listening to this station. Among the recent changes to their site are the new Premium and Premium + options, which include flac streaming! All of the new Premium features are free until July 20th if you care to check them out. I'm now a Premium + subscriber. The Jazz Groove Booster MPS and orresearch 2 Link to comment

daverich4 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 It works in Roon which for me is always a good place to start. Link to comment
Popular Post Melvin Posted July 24, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2019 Just to follow up .. the free Premium + trial ended on 7/20 and as promised I received an email with log-in instructions. I was hoping for flac streaming on every device but apparently the Premium + functions are web-based only. That said, I've had a really nice experience so far. The flac stream is stable and the sound quality is much better than the typical aac/mp3 radio streams, as it should be. My Qute EX lights up orange indicating 48 kHz. I assume it's 16/48 and not 24/48. Nonetheless, the sound quality is terrific. This was money very well spent for me. cambridgehank and qdwieertteyrujpo 1 1 Link to comment

austinpop Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I read about this in Paul McGowan's blog today. I understand they're struggling, but unless they can supply the premium lossless streaming through Roon via URL, it's a tough sell... AudioDoctor 1 My Audio Setup Link to comment

If one is all-in with Roon I see your point, of course. For Roon-ies using a Sonore Rendu product the Shairport function works exceptionally well and is a potential work-around (Roon supports AirPort, no?). Link to comment

austinpop Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Good point. AirPlay does work. To be clear, this isn't Roon - you just need to have an Airplay server running on the DAC-connected machine (be it standalone music server, or streamer/endpoint), or the DAC itself in some cases, like dCS. I tried it with Euphony OS, one of whose modes is Airplay Server. I assume other endpoints have similar support. I was then able to run Jazz Groove on my laptop running MacOS/Chrome, and "cast" the output to the Airplay Server. Melvin 1 My Audio Setup Link to comment

I emailed them regarding Roon compatibility as a way to expand their market and they said they would add it to their list of improvements they would consider; however, they have bigger concerns, like long-term viability. They pay IT folks it appears, so there doesn't seem to be a volunteer that could take up the "cause." I'm still using the link from a year ago (or so) within Roon internet radio. Not sure how long that will work.

Ralf11 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 maybe they can get some support from NPR as it is, there is a lot of competition from radio shows on the internet Link to comment

cambridgehank Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Thanks for informing me about laid back jazz. All I saw was Mix 1 and Mix 2, not the fine print. I am now listening to Mix 1 Link to comment
One and a half Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I like radio since I don't have to think about what to choose for tracks. I see there's a setup for Lumin and a pile of other devices that looks straightforward. So far I like what I hear, and bonus of lossless a nice plus. Will become member as soon as I get home this weekend. Thanks all for the recommendations. AS Profile Equipment List Say NO to MQA Link to comment
