RadioParadise streaming FLAC


Any RadioParadise listeners on here?  RP recently announced lossless FLAC streaming through their  mobile apps and their Apple Desktop application.  There is no Lossless streaming URL at this time.

I normally stream it through the RP 320acc URL to a Wyred4Sound 96K moded SONOS Connect then coax to an external DAC.    I just connected up an old AppleTV and redirected the desktop RP application to the AppleTV for some A/B testing, also set the app to lossless.  But the desktop app is not the same track as the URL and I have been sick the last few days and my head feels like a balloon so A/B testing is suboptimal to say the least. 

Anyone else messing around with this?

I just compared Peter Gabriel songs ( had to wait a couple songs before comparing).  I think the Lossless sounds a bit better than my upsampled version.  Getting some interrupts and the app crashed once so I think I need to play with the cache settings.  Doesn't sound like the URL version is coming anytime soon.

RP is my favorite streaming radio.

 
Good support as well. Sent a crash log last night and had response email from the developer this morning.

Are you using the new radioparadise site or the legacy?  If on the new one do you have it set to FLAC?

No FLAC stream URL that I know of. I think there is an API as I saw this on GitHub. https://github.com/marco79cgn/radio-paradise/releases/tag/v1.0-beta
Not sure that will work for what your need. I sent an email to one of the developers who works on the iOS app maybe he can shed some light.
I just got an email from Bill Goldsmith regarding streaming FLAC.  RP is working on a simple stream URL and also an API that supports song skip and other features.  So stay tuned.
