I've been listening to this station this afternoon whilst working on a spreadsheet model. Very relaxing and excellent quality. The music that is ... not the spreadsheet!

Yes indeed, very nice.
This station seems to be operating out of Greece.
They also have an excellent Jazz stream http://stream.psychomed.gr/webstream%20jazz.html 320kps/16bit mp3 as well.
Try this classical station from Finland. In glorious CD quality (44.1khz/16bit flac) res. http://www.rondolehti.fi (no metadata though).
sorry here is the stream url: http://rondo.iradio.fi:8000/klasu.flac

I'm Lawrence.
I got my Liv Zen (early Innuos) for £350 IIRC. It didn't have the upgrade required to connect to my dac but they upgraded it remotely FOC despite the fact it was a legacy product (and even company) and I had bought it S/H, now that's customer service. Everyone should own one!

If anyone reading this thread is interested in getting into streaming, I may be willing to part with one of my RPi devices as I am considering purchasing the new Allo Katana kit.
This is a fully cased device with a Hifiberry Digi+ board. It connects to a DAC via a SP/DIF cable (RCA phono or optical). I can supply it with a fully configured SD card with the latest Volumio software so it is simply a case of plugging in an ethernet cable and usb power supply and then typing in the web address on a pc, phone or tablet to control the device.
Just PM me if interested and I can post details and some pictures.

I just connect my laptop to my DAC with a USB cable and pay a sub to a decent streaming service (I use Qobuz 16/44 at the moment).
It equals or beats my CDP, which I rate highly.
Justin User211 does this as well (only he used Tidal streaming) and he is a very fussy bugger when it comes to sq.
Imho you don't need all these fancy boxes and software, or the cost associated with them.
Cancel your sub to Amazon Music, it sounds crap.

“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power.

They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
