I am not sure what there is to gain with a DSP ready tuner-
Most of the stations that are broadcasting a good to great signal are on the left end of the dial (Non-profit) and have not yet jumped the broom stick for Digital-
the analogue signal is great - and with the right antenna you can have amazing sound quality.
I see that you are in MA- irrespective of which part of the state - barring some remote valleys - there is great FM in them thar air...
try the Godars in a twin configuration - or as Tim suggests - a Rhombic-
Happy Listening

Thank you, I am getting some really great signal. I now have three Godars each pointing to a favorite station for best reception.
However, an all DSP analogue tuner has some potential advantages. Note, that this is not an HD tuner, but rather the entire RF processing is done in the digital domain - all the IF, sideband rejection, bandwidth choice, etc. There are solutions to common FM problems that can be implemented in the digital domain that simply can't practically be done in the traditional analogue design.
Certainly, the only tuner that has implemented this - a cheap Sony box has a dedicated cult following and NOS units sell at many times the original price.
M4FM promises an audiophile implementation and maybe sounds great, or not.
I still think that driving your MD108 really hard offers the best ROI in sound quality terms.
