Enhancing online radio station sound options


I've just started to listen to LIVE 365 on my laptop (wireless connection to net). Could an Oppo 105D improve the sound so I could play through my system in decent quality? If not Oppo; other considerations? Thanks.

My opinion is that it doesn't matter what you are using to listen to online radio it is not going to sound hi-fi. The reason being is that most radio stations only broadcast at 128Kbs mp3. A little better than a really strong FM signal but no where near CD quality. No DAC or jitter removal device will fix that.

I personally use a Sonos connect because it's interface is really nice and has the ability to connect to other services like Spotify and Tidal which are higher quality sound.
