"but the signal was too weak to enjoy my favorite local FM stations, even with the addition of the Magnum Dynalab ST-2 antenna."I do hope this doesn't mean that you first tried the MD 90 without any antenna at all?
It is possible that you could buy a decent tuner, and an appropriate antenna for where you live - installed on your roof or in the loft - for less than $500 all up.
You have given us evidence that the MD ST-2 just isn't an appropriate antenna for where you live. This is not surprising as it is not a particularly good antenna for FM.
But, that is not evidence that good FM reception is impossible where you are.
Lossy digital via the internet is unlikely to sound any better than Hybrid Digital aka HD which doesn't sound very good.
