H"D Radio FM/AM Digital Tuner
Sony XDR-F1HD

This is a $100 (thats no typo) tuner that blows away the classic super
tuners of McIntosh, Marantz, Sequerra, Accuphase, etc., according to
FM experts who know more than I do."

He referes to this in depth technical review:

The technical review cited doesn't support audiocritic's claim.


from the technical review:

"Sound quality for slightly marginal to deeply compromised signals is strikingly better than
that from conventional tuners. The performance of the Sony XDR-F1HD on stereo FM is
spectacular and unprecedented. "
