Internet Radio as digital source

I wish to add an Internet Radio with digital output to be hooked up to my DAC . I have no idea how to go about buying a suitable gear about it. My budget would be $200-300 for a used or new gear. Please advise what I should look for.  Thanks

Tunein fee information is below:

“TuneIn offers two different apps: TuneIn Radio and TuneIn Radio Pro.

TuneIn Radio is our free app with access to 100,000 real radio stations and 5.7M podcasts.

TuneIn Radio Pro is available for a one-time fee. It is just like our free app but additionally is banner ad and pre-roll ad-free and allows you to record.

TuneIn Premium is a paid subscription service that we offer for both apps. With TuneIn Premium, listeners will get everything featured in the TuneIn standard free service, plus live NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL games, more than 600 commercial-free music stations, and an ad-free experience. The TuneIn Premium service can be accessed by logging into a Premium account both on the TuneIn Radio Pro app, and our Free app”.


Tunein Radio is a free App.  Enjoy

Grace digital encore radio is a nice all in one package. Set up is easy and 1000s of radio stations for no monthly fee. All you need is wifi. This might be the wrong sub forum but no laptop or PC needed!

I had posted a similar question. I tried a bit of radio streaming thru my laptop, but was disappointed with the sound. (And didn't want my laptop tied up with streaming). I found a few internet tuners on Amazon, but the sound quality was kind of an unknown. 

When I asked on Audiogon, I got suggestions to get a streamer instead, as they can also access internet radio. Bought a refurbished Node 2 music streamer. Sounds great. Much better than the laptop. Can output analog or digital. The tuning is done by installing an app on your phone or tablet. And it still has the potential to access the high resolution subscription services, if I want to explore that later.

Another option would be o buy a streaming component that incorporates a digital tuner.  I purchased a demo Bluesound Node 2 last year for around $250
