I have used an Apple TV, Bluesound, and a Bryston BDP3 to access Internet Radio. They all work and have provided a lot of pleasure. The Bryston sounds better, but as it is a lot more expensive than the other two, it darn well ought to. Bluesound beats ATV, but not by as wide a margin as you might think. One advantage of Internet Radio is that as the source gets more compromised in quality, the quality of the gear becomes less important.
Apple TV used to use iTunes to find stations by genre, but now uses apps that are less helpful finding new stations. The BlueOS app and Bryston Manic Moose are far better at delivering new stations to explore
