Default Proms, 320k, and the sound of music

I've recently been enjoying two sources of music in particular. One is the
Proms using the 320k stream. The other is some new (to me) Jazz CDs. This
prompts me to raise various points to see what people think.

Firstly, I am now of the opinion that the best way to get Proms is via the
320k stream. To me this delivers better results in general than any
traditional broadcasting route I've used. Although it does sometimes
hiccup
here - as per one night last week. Both the sound quality and the sheer
effortless dynamic range available is impressive.

Re. your first point Jim, have you heard the uncompressed OGG/FLAC
broadcasts from Ceský rozhlas D-Dur?
http://radio.cesnet.cz:8000/cro-d-dur.flac



This works fine in the http/s stream of VLC

Just copy 'n paste..
