Yeah, I'll bet "full Frequency" Broadcasts on an FM Tuner through my Metrum Hex DAC
would sound very good.(I think the Hex DAC is making the Internet feeds sound better than any reasonable expectation of how good they can sound. I can only hope for more bandwidth to magically show up,hey we can dream can't we ?)

Have a good one ! (Or a couple if your in the right place for them)

  Oops, forgot that FM is analogue ( I just remembered the good old days, when I listened to FM on my mom's tubed Fisher receiver )
  
  I get carried away sometimes , because other then when I was still spinning vinyl 25 or 30 years ago I've never had much in my system that reminded me of Analogue as my Non-over sampling DAC. I'm not overly impressed with high bit-rate Digital.
  
  I'm listening to the AVRO film music feed from the Netherlands (256kbps) . Warm & full
  sounding with some nice soundstage. Warmth & soundstage at this bit rate ?
  
  A Tuner & a good Yagi just are'nt a possibility for me in the near future. ( just realized they're
  playing music from the LOTR soundtrack , not major music but enjoyable nonetheless)

    That's a great pity - for IMO&E low bit-rate digital codecs do audible damage to acoustic music.
