Hello, I'm looking for a not too expensive radio which can be played through my hifi, - a radio that I can use to listen to internet radio stations, like La Scala, for example. At the moment I just have an old Pure DAB radio which seems to work fine for the digital stations.
I don't have Alexa or a smartspeaker, and don't really want to get them, I just want to listen to the internet radio station(s). (We've got WiFi in the house, obvs). At the moment I can listen to the internet stations through their app on my Samsung tablet, but it would be convenient if I could listen via the radio.
Any suggestions?

I connect my Samsung tablet to the AUX input on my hifi (1970s tuner amp) using a phono to 3mm jack lead. Then use an app called Audials for streaming internet radio.
Works a treat, proper bass :-)0 -
When you say via the radio do you mean ad in choose from the radio or as in broadcast via the radio? I use tunein and push to my hifi setup via a Chrome cast audio.
Simple and works a treat for me. Obviously you can cast lots of other apps not just Tunein0
