Yes. TuneIn Radio sounds great coming from my Lumin Music streamer which is hooked up to my Mcintosh D1100 Dac Also Calm Radio sounds really good coming from Sonos which is also hooked up the my D1100. So does Amazon Unlimited. I spend most of my time listening to Internet radio. Great stations. Any kind of music you like. https://calmradio.com/en/ https://tunein.com/radio/home/ Last edited by JBT; 12-02-2018 at 05:00 PM. |

I would also recommend Calm Radio. I have been using their service for the past year. The prices are more reasonable than your larger streaming services.

Another nice review of the MS500
Conclusion The McIntosh MS500 serves up a solid dose of musicality and smoothness to its presentation in a way, that as I said, reminds me of that rich, analog goodness from the hi-fis of my youth, but it puts it on the sonic plate with a healthy dose of present day transparency, speed and texture in the context of my modern system that those old set ups could only dream about. It doesn’t do USB-B in, but it does do Ethernet and that’s just fine with me. For someone looking to take on the technical miasma that can be computer audio, cloud-based sreaming and local 16-bit/44.1kHz file playback (or up to 24-bit/192kHz) the MS500 has the chops to deliver a dose of high-end sound with a minialmist user interface and none of the fuss that digital audio can be known for. This is an experience that’s much more music focused than GUI-centric and that should go down very well with those people looking to keep what comes between them and listening to their music to a minimum. https://www.audiostream.com/content/...-server-review |
