Anyone else use an Internet tuner to greatly expand the program sources available for music?
I've got Grace Digital tuners hooked into systems in both my office and living room -- in each case, wired into McIntosh gear (MAC6700 and MA5300) using TOS-link digital connections.
Audio quality is pretty good - certainly not up to the standards available from other high end sources; but extremely listenable.
There is no other availability of such a broad range of programming across the wide range of musical genres.
And it's a lot of fun to hear broadcasts from all corners of the world.
Like short wave with no fidelity or reception issues.
Grace Digital may have discontinued their component tuner - but Sangean is still selling one now for under $200. Connects to local wi-fi and into the system.
