Default Pandora Streaming ?

I like the music that Pandora plays when I set the channel to Smooth Jazz. I have it on in the background all the time. I am trying to get the best sound quality out of it I can - perhaps I already am. I had it coming out of a Roku via glass cable into my Esoteric K-03. Now I have it coming out of my Oppo 103 via a good coax cable into my K-03 and it sounds much better, but I still want to upgrade the sound if possible. The K-03 says 44.1 but I don't think Pandora streams at that high of a rate. I have heard rumors that it may in the future. I have Tidal and Tidal Masters but I only use it to preview music as I don't like any of their Jazz playlists and don't like creating my own. I like set and forget like Pandora does. Not sure if a new DAC would help or not since it is streamed music. I have also tried Pandora via USB to my K-03 from my MacBook and didn't really like the sound. I didn't use any software like JRiver, perhaps that would help. Any ideas to get more out of Pandora?

Paul, Even mp3s, which is what I think Pandora streams, are 16/44.1. Craig
