Hi all;

Posted before, but sound quality issues have always gotten to me so 'Happy Proms 2016'

At the first part of 1st Night. GORGEOUS performance of Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliette'

I'm puzzled as to sound quality on 'Listen Again'

I am streaming a Macbook Pro Laptop through a Focusrite ADC/DAC to vintage Marantz 2230 receiver and Koss Pro 4AA Titanium headphones. Wonderful bloom on most frequency ranges, BUT am I hearing compression on bass response.

I'm curious as to your opinions on a live FM/DAB relay, but otherwise BEST Proms sound yet

Cheers from Canada
Phil

You have a nice system
I suspect the problem is that are in North America. I can only get very low bit rate for Radio 3 here. Someone mentioned a while back that the BBC uses more compression on our side of the pond

Funny, I just heard the Elgar Cello concerto. Crap, that was STUNNING in sound quality. Not knowing the work, I'm in love
