I wonder if you're aware of this latest pilot by the BBC:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/taster/projects...adio_and_music
"We’re using FLAC and MPEG-DASH to deliver losslessly-compressed audio to your browser. This allows us to reduce the bit-rate required for transmission without any loss of information."
From what I can tell it's a 48k lossless FLAC stream. Currently it requires use of the latest Firefox browser to make it work. Perhaps something that could be made accessible from Moode?

I've tried to see if I can find the link but no joy, even studying the info from the stream page on BBC shows nothing.

I'm in the U.S. and listening to this right now, sounds great other than the very occasional little pop noise, but I can't figure out how to check the stream's native bit depth and sample rate on a Mac computer.
In the Audio MIDI settings it shows the input as "Default", not terribly useful.
Anyone have hints as to how I can check this on a Mac? If I right-click the player image in the browser a very small information window appears, I've enclosed a screen shot, like the Audio MIDI settings it doesn't seem terribly helpful in identifying the stream's native resolution, though "lossless" and "DASH" do appear:
And on further review of the various links on the BBC information page, this adaptive bitrate stuff is a long and ongoing project for them dating back to 2009 from what I gathered, and is seemingly quite complex in terms of the actual implementation (not that I'm an expert on such matters).
