Radio 3 320kbs stream

Posted by: Rich27 on 14 May 2011

Does anybody know the correct url to input in the Naim tuner web page (My Added Stations) so that I can add the Radio 3 320kbs stream to the NDX?

There is a thread in HiFi corner on Radio 3.

Yes I saw that but when I add either of those urls into the Naim tuner web site I get a station which shows up as AAC 57kb/s 44.1khz in the N-Stream app. Not sure if I am doing something wrong but it all appears a little odd!

 

This newfangled computer audio stuff is all a bit complicated!

Not sure if it is possible at this time.

 

This from the BBC 3 website:

 

Q. Why am I unable to receive the 320kbps stream via my wi-fi radio?

 

A.

The 320kbps stream is a new service and unfortunately many wi-fi radios are currently unable to play it. This is because the portals to which they connect do not currently pass this stream to the radios in a suitable format. We hope the manufacturers will make the 320kbps stream available and we have discussed this with the Internet Media Devices Alliance (the industry body that has recently been set up to drive the smooth adoption of new IP technologies. In the meantime, you can of course connect your computer through a good quality sound card to your hi-fi in order to get the maximum benefit from this service.

 

Q. Why am I experiencing problems streaming BBC radio stations on my wi-fi radio?

 

A.

This issue is a fault with the programme guide used by several manufacturers, and is not BBC related. Some manufacturers have implemented software fixes.

 

Have emailed to ask if they will supply a URL that we can try, will await outcome.
