The value of a good FM tuner?......, now and in the future...


For most of my adult life, FM radio has been an introduction to new music and artists.  With some stations, in some towns I have lived in, the quality was good and the music was good....Jazz, Classical and more.

My question is, what is to be the near term future of FM.  Is streaming of audiophile quality?   Online stations through my computer is not for me, my computer is not audiophile quality sound.....can Magnum or anyone make a unit that can make "online" of audiophile quality.  Like a good lp or disk, the source is what all of the electronics have to work with. ......so, what it the future source for FM or the like?

Thanks

Here in the Tampa/St.Pete area we only have one FM station with a signal worthy of a good tuner: WUSF 89.7 - the University of South Florida radio station. 24/7 with a variety of programs. PBS News and related programs - plus a great Jazz show nightly - All Night Jazz - from 9 PM to 5 AM Sun - Thurs and Fri/Sat to 6 AM. I listen to it every night. A nice variety of old and new Jazz! Digitally-sourced, of course, but of high SQ.
Oh, almost forgot WSMR 89.1 and 103.9 out of Sarasota. Classical/PBS 24/7 with very good digitally-sourced SQ.
