Is it over 16?
Don't blame radio of any type for NOT being able to drive!
That is the responsibility of your components.
Would think it's as good a source as any, given the original source of the
broadcast material - some tracks will sound MUCH better than others.
And so it goes - all back to the source.

And the HD tuner (or whatever) IS a component.

Indeed it does. And in this case, the tuner IS the source. Hence Bill's question.
I don't think the original question was phrased exactly right. It's not that the internet radio is tasked with driving the speakers, but is it up to the task as a source component? Which it IS a source component.

You are right, Ozzy. My question is whether the tuner is a good enough source. Wanted to be a little dramatic saying the tuner driving speakers like Magico, dominating the 20k stuff. People owning these top speakers must be listening to the same Internet radios but must be going thru a lot of DAC and related stuff. I guess the quality will still not be anywhere near the Fremer sound.
Thanks

FWIW, I listen to internet radio a fair amount and enjoy it, being rather like an endless dessert menu of music at the touch of a finger. On average, the performance is not up to the level of my old Kenwood analog tuner, but it's nonetheless quite enjoyable, and gives me the opportunity to hear things I might never become aware of any other way. That has to be worth something, and I consider the Cambridge that made it possible a worthwhile investment.
