Streaming fixed!

We’ve received many complaints over the last few weeks of distortion in our audio stream. It was very intermittent and the amount of distortion ranged quite a bit, which made it very difficult to track the issue down. The engineering team finally isolated and fixed the issue (was due to some bad capacitors in an old audio amp), so all our audio streams should sound perfect again! Let us know if you have any other problems.
