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.

If you can find  a used McIntosh MR-88 they can pull HD radio as well as normal FM with the usual phenomenal tuner section from McIntosh. I think they can do XM too if you get a separate interface.

My store has an MD106T tuner listed on USAM. First rate option for FM.

One more vote for Sansui TU-717. Prices are going up, but are still crumbs compared to what the equipment most here have costs.

On those days your WiFi is working, you can sit, watch, and admire your tuner anyway.

Magnum Dynalab sells new tuners. They also repair models dating back to the 1980's (flat rate).  They have a trade in program so you can purchase a refurbished unit with a one year warranty.  I would love to own an MD90T, but my buget is more FT110A (late '80s).
