Wow, that's definitely not "weird", but it's very awesome. That's amazing! Love it!
ok bob, here's what you need to do. find a used grace gdi-irdt200 internet tuner. (nla new.) output its digital output into a nice dac. connect the dac to your main rig. you will find a plethora of different selections, chill/electronica included. and, w/a nice dac, even relatively low bit-rate 128khz feeds sound really nice - nice enough for serious listening, not just background.happy listening! some stations:L'Eko de Garrigues - 1000k (usually some sort of electronica)http://91.121.159.124:8000/eko-des-garrigues-max.flacL'Eko de Garrigues - 128k (same as above, lower bitrate; also identifies songs/artists)http://91.121.159.124:8000/eko-des-garrigues-128k.mp3.m3uhttp://91.121.159.124:8000/eko-des-garrigues-128k.mp3World - hi online radiohttp://mediaserv38.live-streams.nl:8027/streamambient - party vibe radiohttp://94.130.238.52:8056/streamfip - france, various (this may be one of the best stations ever. just the most unbelievably eclectic mix you will ever hear anywhere. classical, trance, dub step, old rock, new eclectic music, old jazz, metal, folk, new jazz, hip-hop, opera, bizarre and interesting covers & tributes, reggae, etc. they even play french music on occasion! they play literally everything. and not just specific shows at specific times. the randomness is non-stop. i love this station. and, it sounds really good, even at 128khz.)http://direct.fipradio.fr/live/fip-midfi.mp3fip - AUTOUR DU REGGAE (all fip's other streams are available at 192khz)http://direct.fipradio.fr/live/fip-webradio6.mp3fip - TOUT NOUVEAU, TOUT FIPhttp://direct.fipradio.fr/live/fip-webradio5.mp3fip - autour du mondehttp://direct.fipradio.fr/live/fip-webradio4.mp3fip - groovehttp://direct.fipradio.fr/live/fip-webradio3.mp3fip - jazzhttp://direct.fipradio.fr/live/fip-webradio2.mp3fip - rockhttp://direct.fipradio.fr/live/fip-webradio1.mp3naba-winamp (radio naba, riga, latvia; one of my two fave new music stations.)http://nabamp0.latvijasradio.lv:8008/radio student 320kbps (radio student, ljubjana slovenia; the other of my two fave new music stations.)http://kruljo.radiostudent.si:8000/ehiqclassical (baroque) audiophilehttp://8.38.78.173:8045/streamlinn - jazzhttp://89.16.185.174:8000/streamradio paradise (rock)http://stream-dc1.radioparadise.com/aac-320rock/blues - audiophilehttp://8.38.78.173:8240/streamzappa (zappa released >100 albums, so there's a lot of material out there...)http://176.28.17.90:8000/zappa.aacwpfw (my fave local station - mostly jazz; daytime left-wing news/talk - NOT "mainstream" news.)http://www.wpfwfm.org:8000/wpfw_128i have quite a bit more loaded into my grace that i haven't listed. and, here's a link for hi-rez streams (growing all the time):http://radiobit.50webs.com/happy listening!doug s.
Nick, I have the ability to do internet radio via the control software for my Bluesound Node. I would think that ability is built into your Auralic streamer as well. What would the Grace unit offer you that you cannot already do?

Fair enough, thanks for giving it a shot and skimming through.Did anyone like it? Guess not based on the lack of comments.
