dud Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Hi I have replaced my big box Yamaha receiver with mono block amps and an rme dac as a pre amp to run the amps. I am wondering if anyone knows of a digital radio that also receives fm signal but has a digital output as the rme only has digital inputs and my partner would really like a radio in the system , it doesn’t have to be flash just receive fm and output in digital hopefully cheap and a small box. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolai Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I use a Cambridge Audio 650T in my main system, it has a DAB+ll tuner which I output via Spdif to my Dac, sound pretty good. The FM receiver on the 650T only outputs to analogue though.. most channels are on DAB now but in various qualities, some worse than FM unfortunately. I use both as a I have a preamp.

RankStranger Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Pretty sure the sangean WFT-1 used to do that. Discontinued now but they come up used occasionally. I think I remember this one doing it too but check the owners manual or with the shop first https://www.apollohifi.com.au/audio/redback-a2698a-dab-fm-digital-tuner-with-bluetooth.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5L15 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 @dud For $200 this looks enticing https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/124773986966?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-139619-5960-0&mkcid=2&itemid=124773986966&targetid=1278990506786&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=9071798&poi=&campaignid=12500143672&mkgroupid=120033773182&rlsatarget=pla-1278990506786&abcId=9300512&merchantid=7364522&gbraid=0AAAAAD97CxTAzGC9lVZhfAA4lpqnhiqPV&gclid=Cj0KCQiA-K2MBhC-ARIsAMtLKRtxwTMM_2OS9YwpeNTGTr7zkXDKikcq2zUJnXwswCtDAl-rp4vEUssaAqTTEALw_wcB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tone Malone Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I'll add another to the mix: the Yamaha TD 500 tuner. It was discontinued a couple of years ago but comes up on the secondhand market for $200-$300. It has a really lovely rich sound, especially for FM. Re Sangean: I hope others have had more luck with that brand than I have! I bought two Sangean products, an alarm clock and portable radio, 3-5 years ago, and both steadily developed issues where some of the buttons didn't respond properly. I think it was more a firmware issue than a mechanical one. Maybe the company fixed those issues, but having been burned twice it would take some convincing for me to buy a third Sangean product.
