Wanting to listen to CKUA.com from Alberta Canada.
According to web site, :listen.streamon.fm/ckua
This just buffers and won’t play. Any ideas please.
Many thanks

They are adding some magic as they call it themselves. DSP I guess. It’s clear when you compare to the original recording. It often sounds good though but not as the original was made if that’s important. The bass can become bit to bloated sometimes for example.

Listen to “abc lounge radio”. I like it.

Thank you for the information. I didn’t know that. If jazz groove uses DSP, then it’s a positive DSP /sound tuning. Unfortunately, I don’t understand anything about studio technology (DSP, dither, etc.). But many older recordings in particular seem to me to be more detailed and better resolved than the corresponding recordings on Qobuz The sound stage also seems broader and more detailed to me.

Same experience here :slight_smile: I stream Jazz Groove FLAC many hours per day. It’s very good and sounds great and I find many new artists/albums. Connecting it to Roon give you the option to click a streamed track in JG and it shows up in Roon :+1:

Hi @Paul_C @Eduard

Re: CKUA
On our new radio system this station plays ok. It also has extended meta.


I checked the legacy vtuner fees and that also plays.

If you can give more detail on equipment in use + sw version installed then can advise accordingly.

Best

Thank you and @Stevesky for your replies.
Using a Auralic Vega S1 + PS as streamer/dac into a Nac 32CB and Nap 250 or SPL elector pre and SPL performer s800. Yes I can play at 96 from Auralic radio. Trying to get 128 or 320, which is available, but can’t find proper url. Thank you.

Hi @Eduard

I’ve contacted their engineering team for advice on available streams. If they have better then we’ll add it to the new Naim radio solution.

check out “Radio Garden” stations from every country in the world.

Hi @Eduard

re: CKUA - The station got back to me and there is no 128kbit or higher stream available. The 96kbit AAC is the best it gets.

I enjoy JB Radio 2, but just wondered if anyone preferred a similiar station? No DJs, no adverts, a good mix of genres required!!

Thank you!

Enjoying this thanks .

Genuine question…I “lost” JB Radio2 for a while but it’s back, on a new stream. Now, I really didn’t / still don’t know how this stuff worked but as part of my efforts to find out what had happened to it, I learned about “aggregators” and other stuff.

So, here’s the question. I know some stations charge a subscription for increased quality (for example) and some (eg Radio Paradise) seek donations. But, I’ve never heard anything other than music on JB Radio 2 - no DJ, no adverts, no asking for money, no human voice. At all, ever. I just wondered “how do they make their income”?

ALR jazz radio has been one of my favourites for a while.
They have broadcast from Cartagena in Columbia as a cafe radio station for 14 years.
They now seem to be upping their game and have added an English voice to the previous Spanish voice and added donation support requests.


They have a limited playlist but I love them.
The SQ is excellent.
