Adding "Internet radio" to home system

I have a typical component stereo system, of a vintage to include FM radio, but I wanted an easier way to hear internet stations on it than using my laptop. What an FM tuner is to a free-standing "radio", I assumed there would be an "internet radio" equivalent -- that is, an "internet tuner". But I can't find the product I have in mind, which I think would be small and cheap if it existed. As a substitute I'm using the Logitech Squeezebox internet radio. This isn't bad, but its remote cannot change stations, and the only output is the headphone jack rather than a Line Out.

So is there an "internet tuner" being made?

I have a NAD 446 Internet Tuner and media player - I bought it 6-8 years ago so when I was building my stereo system.  It was my 'connection' point for digital music.  I don't use mine anymore - frankly it's collecting dust so if your in the DFW area I'd be willing to barter for a beer :)

Currently I just leverage the internet radio I get from my stream/DAC - the Bluesound Node 2i was my first streamer/DAC and is a great unit for the price.  

Good luck in your journey!
