I have found that transcoding AAC streams improves the sound from my KDS/1. I didn't find this with MP3 streams. If anything, I thought the original untranscoded MP3 stream sounded slightly better.

I find listening to radio stations via a playlist to be very convenient. There is a bit of overhead in getting the playlist set up initially but this shouldn't take too long for a small list of favourite stations.
