Can anyone recommend an FM Receiver that would play into a relatively high end system?


I have gone “all in” on digital streaming, but unfortunately, we are not immune to interruptions in Internet service in our area.  Whenever one occurs, I am reminded of simpler days listening to FM radio, and would like to have that capability again.  Are there FM receivers that would feed a digital stream into a DAC?   Or would they be analogue feeding directly into my amp via XLR cables?   Any suggestions would be appreciated.

A great value is indeed some of the better Sansui FM tuners.  If you are on a budget I agree to seek out one of those.  Note: I sold many of them in my early retail days.  Really nice sounding, never a problem, should be a solid vintage tuner for todays purchase.  Someone above recommended an Accuphase T-101.  I wholeheartedly agree with that.  Years ago I had an entire stack of Accuphase which included the T-101 tuner.  It was stellar!  I am still kicking myself for selling that stack to my nephew.  If you can find one grab it.  Built like a million bucks, beautiful looking, sonically satisfying (given a good antenna connection, of course).  It has that quality sound of analogue, almost like that of vinyl.  Good luck in your quest for a quality FM tuner.
