Has anyone subscribed to the Sirius satellite radio system in their home setup? How is the sound? If so what tuner are you using? Is it Cd/Lp quality? Any other info you want to add.
I have XM and LOVE IT!!! I'm using the Delphi SkyFi unit. The sound is just OK. Hopefully a high-end company will step up and manufacture a receiver with a quality DAC. The music and programming is top notch.
I agree with Prpixel. I've had XM and Sirius is rental cars. Not sure it will ever be "audiophile" quality, but I'm not looking for that in a radio - especially in the car. But, I must say that there were two things I REALLY liked:
1) NO FREAKING COMMERICALS 2) When I was travelling in the desert there WAS music!
I have Sirius in my truck, direct connected, factory installed not frequency midulated(FM). It sounds much better than FM. They have a lot of excellent channels and as far as ads the only thing I hear is an occasional announcement of programming for different channels. I would get the Kenwood unit for your home it has an optical output so you could use a better processer if you have one. Let me know if you find a better deal than the $299 list as I'm thinking of getting it also.
