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.

My main suggestion is to get off Wifi If you can.  If you can't, use a phone based Wifi analyzer to pick the best, least congested wifi channels.
Best,
Erik

Look at the Naim NAT tuners. 
You will also need an antenna. A real one.

If you have a gear that has   Bluetooth aptx,
set your cellular phone on ´´ data ´´  not  ´´wifi ´´  and find a station on
internet . Stream  that station to your gear via aptx.
It is economical. The sound may be very good.
I am deceived by the audio quality of my FM tuner.
But I do not have a very good anthena.

Magnum Dynalab tuners.
if you want to digitalized the signal , you will need an Analog Digital Converter (ADC).
