I've just hooked up my xm radio set to home stereo rig. Other digital sources and analogue sound better. How to improve XM radio audio quality - any suggestions?
I'm with Joeylawn, but I run my Polk through my HHb CD Burn-it Plus and then through a dAck! It will NEVER be CD quality. Just remember, IT'S ALL ABOUT PROGRAMMING.
If you are looking for improved quality, and don't necessarily need XM, Sirius is provided over DSS and is considerably better in quality. I'm not sure if the reciever is better in the DSS boxes, or if the satellite can recieve the signal better. Just a thought. Personally, I'm sticking with XM myself.
If money is not an issue, get a high quality DAC such as McIntosh MDA1000. Although very expensive (around $8000), I've heard people swear that this makes any digital component sound like DVD-A.
