The antenna is only $35, so why not try that, I'm thinking, before going a more expensive route. Besides, its smaller profile would give the SR-100 more placement flexibility, even in my crowded apartment.

Charles.......The Magnum Dynalab SR-100 antenna doesn't seem to be much more than a folded dipole with a base. It's primary advantage will be ease of installation, simple to connect to your tuner, and convenient to twist around for tuning the station you want. $35.00 won't break the bank, so hopefully it will work.
As for the Magnum Dynalab Internet tuners, you will still only be listening to MP3 sound no matter how well the design is of the analog output stage. Over the air analog FM signals deliver far better frequency range and dynamics, particularly when tuned to a station that prides itself on broadcasting a high quality, low compression signal. The FM (frequency modulation) audio spectrum ranges from 20 Hz to 15,000 Hz.
