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.

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).
