Yes, it was a response to your post, which I now see I misread. You were discussing the binaural stream; I was referring to the lossless FLAC stream. Sorry for the confusion David |

I will look at the stream format when the stream becomes available this evening. I was able to get something close to working before the stream stopped just before 10 pm. The stream was being captured correctly as a fragmented MP4 stream containing AAC audio data. My Linn DS wouldn't play this stream (perhaps because of zero length in the MP4 metadata?) but I was able to play it on the Melco USB-DAC renderer. I didn't have time to try it with WAV transcoding. When is the next binaural broadcast? |

Next step is to get artwork shown but hopefully I do that correctly. I take it there is no way to play the Prom recordings on the BBC website in lossless? Much appreciated. David ® |

As far as I know, only the live stream is available as lossless.

No. Only the live steam is lossless (48kHz/16 bit FLAC when extracted from the DASH 'wrapper'). It's still experimental, so we can hope that streams and recordings of this quality will one day be as widely available as the HLS/AAC streams are now. David |

The next live binaural taster broadcast is Prom 29 on the 6th at 6pm - the relevant webpage gets updated with the info for the next broadcast soon after the previous broadcast ends. |

The binaural stream is in MP4/AAC fragmented format. Many players (including the Linn DS) are unable to play a fragmented stream. A workaround is to transcode the stream to WAV or WAV24. |

RE: BBC R3 Lossless Stream
Just PM'd you (before reading your last 2 posts).
Fair enough - it's unfortunate the BBC aren't providing the binaural stream for every Prom. I've found an unofficial list of all of the binaural broadcasts (seems accurate, so far): Prom 1 – 14 July, 7.30pm Prom 6 – 18 July, 7.00pm Prom 7 – 19 July, 7.30pm Prom 12 – 23 July, 6.00pm Prom 13 – 24 July, 7.30pm Prom 21 – 30 July, 7.00pm Prom 23 – 1 August, 7.30pm Prom 29 – 6 August, 6.00pm Prom 37 – 13 August, 6.00pm Prom 38 – 13 August, 9.45pm Prom 43 – 17 August, 6.30pm Prom 44 – 17 August, 10.15pm Prom 47 – 20 August, 1.00pm Prom 54 – 25 August, 6.30pm Prom 60 – 29 August, 7.30pm Prom 69 – 4 September, 7.30pm Prom 71 – 6 September, 7.00pm Prom 72 – 7 September, 6.30pm Prom 73 – 7 September, 9.30pm Prom 75 – 9 September, 7.15pm Sourced from https://dreamingspiresquadarchive.wordpr...ess-sound/ |

Only the Chromecast Audio and the Samsung F6400 TV were able to play the fragmented AAC format, but were all able to do so when it was transcoded to WAV. |
