Radio Paradise FLAC Please!

I would like to have the FLAC stream as an option, again. I am not using an MQA DAC (Schiit Audio Bifrost 2) and I don't want faux high resolution. MQA is a closed proprietary system, and it has been shown to not be what they claim it is.

I also use Qobuz, specifically because it is not MQA, like Tidal. I would strongly prefer to still be able to listen to the Radio Paradise FLAC stream, please!

  Selecting the CD Quality option from RP sends you the FLAC stream.

  I have been using the CD Quality, and if that is FLAC, then I am happy. It used to say FLAC, so I was confused with the addition of MQA.

  The MQA encoding is not the same as regular high resolution, and its benefits are suspect; even with an MQA DAC.

  Neil - Are you referring to the GoldenSound video? Here's info on MQA's response:  https://twitteringmachines.com/mqa-responds-to-goldensound-if-this-makes-no-sense-you-are-spending-your-time-wisely/
