Internet radio stations that sound really good

Radioio used to have reference quality streams. They went from a windows based platform to a Mac environment over six months ago (the company was sold).

The sound was at first terrible---thin and upper midrangy MP3'y. Totally unlistenable. Since then they dropped in some EQ but its still unlistenable on a high rez system.

I have built up an EQ session for their ambiant station in Patchmix if anyone is interested (I can email it to you).

I've tried all sort of EQ for their excellent classical station but I've yet to get a winning combo.

IO has great music but needs to address the audio quality.

I don't consider Raioio "unlistenable" at all. I access the Radioio stations via a Squeezebox into the DAC of my RA Opus and I think it sounds pretty d*** good. A well recorded CD is better for sure, but I find Radioio, Pandora and other internet stations quite enjoyable and I listen to them a lot. The resource they provide to discover new music is invaluable, IMHO.

Hy Lit radio.

Baby boomers from eastern Pa/Philly area will recognize the name.

The name does not relate to a state of (non) sobriety as far as I know.

I live in a metropolitan area with quite a variety of stations but nevertheless I listen to streaming audio quite often. What is really good is that while I live on the West Coast, I can get late-night East Coast Broadcasts much earlier while the local stations are still crowding the show with commercials.
