I think for what is considered de-facto these days - high quality internet radio streaming (offered on many lesser products) and support of podcasts etc, these would be supported by now in such a high-end piece of kit? It is over 12 month’s since dCS have provided an update on this thread…?
Regarding ‘good business practice’, I think your statement is more relevant in a B2B approach. For consumers, who have invested heavily in a product, I’d expect better responsiveness to such requests.
My assumption when selecting an aggregator for such services would be that lossless was a requirement…? These are enhancement requests, not new Features as such.
