I have been dipping in to Spotify for a couple of days now. I do not think the Classical recordings I have listened to at 160 are as good as the best Classical Internet Radio Stations I listen to.
I presently listening to Title: Venice Classic MP3 128 URL: http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/tunein-station.pls?id=4975&filename=playlist. which I believe to better Spotify via DSbridge, and I rate Title: Radio Swiss Classic MP3 128 URL: http://opml.radiotime.com/Tune.ashx?id=s25582&Formats=mp3,wma,real&username=sampletime&PartnerId=16 Both of these are MP3 streams at 128. I listen to even better streams. I am guessing the transcoding is exacting a price, and with an official solution to Spotify on Squeezebox we may see an improvement at 160. I have not been able to assess quality at 320. Do folk agree with me that much as it is a valuable advance, Spotify via DSbridge at 160 lags behind the best internet radio? -- Labarum Brian Squeezebox 3 Classic and Virgin Cable Box Beresford DAC TC-7520SE (Caiman) - Quad 405-2 refurbished by 405man Quart 980s Speakers Boom in kitchen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Labarum's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19963 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64590 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
