Internet radio tuner?

[Le TVR]

I'd like to add internet radio to the stereo system. Any recommendations for a good quality wifi based internet radio tuner? Analogue out and at least a dozen presets.
I dont need a network streamer does everything box like most hifi dealers seem to offer just a basic unit with quality audio. Seem to be a lot of cheap chinese units around with questionable quality and user interfaces.
Budget up to £300.
TIA.

Google Chromecast Audio?

I'd be looking at something like the Denon DNP-730AE.

I can't be bothered reading through all the spec for you though, sorry!

+1 for this, bloody brilliant. If you can get one for 15quid like I did you're not even risking much if you don't like it.

I've had all of streamers in the last 15 years or so, radio is often a problem on proprietary devices when the various providers change the format they offer, the BBC are buggers for doing that as are others.

they are not many internet radio separates available,

I too am a total convert to chromecast audio's, I've got 5, also setup with zones - audio perfectly in sync
Casting from a phone can be automated with an NFC tag and an NFC tag writer app to auto open radio app and start streaming


edit - a Revo Mondo might also do the trick, although no longer made and I couldn't find one on ebay SH

I used the iPhone/ iPad with Tunein Radio app and then airplay to a Bang and Olufsen Beolit 12.

I use one of these and control it from the laptop. Works great and only cost £20.
