How is online radio so transparent?

I listen to Radio International Jazz streaming on the internet at my office. I have a Philips Mini system for this. It's a very good sounding mini system but is truly lo fi. It's connected via rca to mini plugs to my Dell desktop. In this very cheap setup the speakers play with extreme transparency, midrange detail and clarity, midbass too. This little system really cooks. To my ears this kind of performance is right up there in the upper mid-fi. How is this kind of quality possible with these electronics and speakers?

Guys, thanks for the links. I should have been more specific.

I retrieved the url for the RadioIO Standards Jazz stream, and I was able to play it from the RadioIO website. However, what I was hoping to do was copy the url into my Squeezebox software and stream it through the Squeezebox.

There is a more complete url required to do this beyond the url that shows in the web browser's address window, and frankly I've forgotten how to access it.

When I have some more time, I'll figure it out.
