I believe the point has been over looked, The main issue is a 64kbs stream (normal internet streaming) can not be made to sound better with DAC or any other enhancement measures. As some have said the only way is to tune in a HD station that puts out a higher bitrate stream, and that may only be 128kbs. Does anyone know if there is a standard bitrate level for HD streaming? (like TV's have). I can have one station in my area that streams HD (AAC) and it is converted into 700kbs Flac format. Then again I listen to LastFm and its stream is only 128kbs. but most station stream at 64kbs, which I feel it sounds about half a step above AM radio. I have a HD headunit in my car and it brings in several local station and the sound quality is noticable. I wish (in America) they would force all Radio broadcaster to move over to this format as they did with TV broadcasters.
