One more definite thing to note.  I contacted Chris with an internet radio station that I thought everyone would really like to have that sounds fantastic in FLAC.    Most services only offer it in MP3 format which pales in comparison to the better bit rate version. It was not available on the typical B radio, but In a matter of days Chris researched it's URL and it was added--you should be able to check it out for yourself under the favorites section in the media player (pureclassix).   Truly a fantastic all-encompassing playlist from this Dutch webstation.  I don't think there's many companies that would add something like that so fast if it wasn't already embedded in their system...

Hey all...its the OP for the above thread.   Anyone notice the new "Mother Earth" radio entry in the radio favs?   That's me again along with Chris' relentless work to add the listener's station requests, as most cannot be directly URL entered.  Thanks good sir!  This is a very eclectic online station out of Germany---you'll hear some obscure euro band right next to Zep's Kashmir and something off Pink Floyd's Animals as I listen tonight (see playlist image).  The best part by far though is the SQ it provides--24bit/192khz FLAC--played directly from vinyl!   You'll find its level is a bit lower than the others, but turn it up and you'll instantly hear the superior quality.  I don't I've heard better "online station" sound than the Radiohead song which is just as good as Qobuz streaming audio.  For those who thought the regular FLAC PureClassix station was a bit tinny sounding--believe me this is far from it   Enjoy!

On the Bryston side...still enjoying the BDP3 quite a bit and showing my WIIM-loving friends what a QUALITY streamer sounds like.  But now wondering if i should get the combo unit to get both a streamer and DAC in the same package (saving rack space)...thinking it over as there's some compromises with the Pi design vs Pc board of the BDP.  But i dont really use any take advantage of the benefits of the standalone unit.  I think i would miss the helpful front screen as well.  Anyway, my Oppo 205 can send DSD out and the Bryston devices can input it via their HDMI and I'm sure it's more refined DACs than the Oppo.

I cannot see the link to Mother Earth on my bdp-1. I can see pureclassix and RP. My firmware is up to date. Any suggestions?
Thanks

PureClassix Ogg FLAC  shows up under Radio folder for me.

Perhaps I’m missing something. I can see pureclassix and purelounge but I cannot see Mother Earth.

Interesting!  I haven't looked there in a long time and didn't think it was something Bryston was actively managing.  Naim also provides a site where the user can add custom URLs to their streamer.  Got some good FLAC streams in my Naim list.  Would be nice to have them added to the Bryston list too.

With a bit of work I can dig up the URLs if neccessary.
