JB Radio2 has added a 96kHz flac channel to the 48kHz one listed above.
Not sure if this is in test and how reliable it will be.
FLAC streaming URLs:
- 48kHz stream https://maggie.torontocast.com:8076/flac
- 96kHz stream http://85.25.210.245:9999/flac
Quality is good on both 48kHz and 96kHz.
The 96kHz stream appears erratic in terms of service hours.
The playlist curation is more mainstream than in 2019/20.

Guys,
JB Radio2 is upconverted from MP3. The owner has admitted on their Facebook page they were just experimenting. Very unlikely they have FLAC files, much less 48k/96k.
Having said that, it does sound good and I thank you for your work @Paul_C without this thread I would never have discovered them.

Always LXClassics. Dutch station with a lot of 60’s and 70’s music.

I have to admit, that I sometimes find the radio garden website fascinating. I love that you just spin the globe and listen in on just about any radio station wherever it might be in the world.

Yes indeed. Not to mention the possibilities to tune in to live performances as well. I am literally 3 days only starting to explore this with some favourite stations from UK, France and Germany.

“All Classical” Portland, OR USA, gets my vote. Discovered it on vacation on FM at the beach at Manzanita. Always a refreshing change (when they are not playing packaged programs).

for those looking (mp3/96).
A nice Festive Concert of Carols was on air.

Try France Inter Paris - FIP. They play lots of independent high quality music of all genres.

JB Radio2 has become a bit of a nuisance recently.
They are on then they are off.
Flac stream is up then it’s down.
You can see much of the history on this thread.
Now they are experimenting - a year or so back they had a flac stream so why need to experiment?
Tend not listen to them any more.

Been listening to SuperStereo (Chile) Internet radio pop stations. They have had 4 channels (but adding 2 more). They are broadcasting in flac and claimed hi-res. Certainly SQ is good.
SuperStereo 1 - eighties (Chile) (flac)
SuperStereo 2 - oldies (Chile) (flac)
SuperStereo 3 - disco/pop (Chile) (flac)
SuperStereo 4 - easy listening (Chile) (flac) - maybe “not heavy” would be better description.
They are broadcasting in 16/96, 16/48, 16/96 and 16/96 respectively. The planned 24/96 on SuperStereo 1 is not evident at present.
I was listening to the Oldies on SuperStereo 2 and it must be best SQ I have heard for these old tracks. They must have some mean equipment.
Chile - it is all in English except station logo. To think the BBC once led the world, not any more!
P.S. Amongst my 260 stations I now have 28 in flac.
