internet music same for any tuner?


I read a lot about Squuezebox, DAC and things. How does this work? I was thinking of upgrading my tuner to a McIntosh or Sansui or something, but with internet music, would it all sound the same regardless of the tuner, or does the tuner still synthesize the music differently? Thank you, Alan

If you have a local college or NPR station (non-compressed), then a good tuner sounds as good or better than a Squeezebox/DAC. This is my opinion of course.
I use both a tuner and a squeezebox because I have a great jazz station in my city that I cannot pick up on the Squeezebox. The Squeezebox is well worth it for the vast variety of musical choices.
