Title: Flac at the proms Post by: acg on July 21, 2017, 12:27:50 pm Hi Peter,
As you may have noticed the BBC Proms this year are streamed in FLAC. I do enjoy that radio event (broadcasts start here on Monday) but if I could stream FLAC via the G3 I could not only listen when it suited me (first world problem!) but the sound should be superior to a FM signal that is blasted 89km over the air from transmitter to me. Technically I can listen to the stream now if I plug a PC into my preamp (yes, I now have that line stage working very nicely indeed) or even go via the sound card that I use for room acoustic measurement, but streaming XXHE/G3 has to be the pinnacle. Is internet streaming a difficult thing for you to add to XXHE? Of course it is and I understand that there must be SQ compromise for live streaming to work in the XXHE ecosystem, but boy it would be nice to have. Cheers, Anthony Title: Re: Flac at the proms Post by: PeterSt on July 21, 2017, 03:17:13 pm Hi Anthony,
It shouldn't be a problem if SQ is allowed to degrade - it is on my ToDo since about January, but the time is lacking sofar. Of course we can imagine that this is so, but at this moment it would hold up 2.08 while I can hardly find time to finish that to begin with. Best regards, Peter PS: Good that you got that pre-amp to work in good fashion ! Title: Re: Flac at the proms Post by: acg on July 22, 2017, 08:13:20 am Don't delay 2.08!
Will this also be able to get Roon working in short of a fashion?

Anthony, Maybe it is too difficult for me to see through, but I don't think it will be the same because it will be Roon which is doing the streaming. Theoretically it is possible because HQPlayer also can do it but this is in a leage which is too far from the way all has been set up. What I have been working on is let Roon act as a front end for selection and next play all normally from within XXHighEnd. And now I think of it, within Tidal itself such things are already explicitly possible with 2.08 (think of a copy-paste like thing). Hmm ...
