BBC R3 Lossless Stream

[trevorausten]

Thank you for this Simon.
I run MinimServer/MinimStreamer on my desktop with FFmpeg installed and was able to stream the FLAC by selecting the desktop as library with melco/exogal as renderer.
I do not have any experience with Linux and the interchange between you and Bubblegum is above my head so it looks like this will have to do for now.
The sound is superior to the AAC R3 stream as was the stream from my PC to my Audiiocom modified Oppo 205 using the Taster Radio 3 concert sound webpage but the melco/exogal is a touch more refined.
I hope everyone in the forum who has liked the new service has posted comments on the R3 websites. Positive feedback will encourage the BBC to make this permanent.
If the melco cannot stream FLAC, why does the Qobuz stream show as FLAC?
