Cable TV digital music

Every now and then, I like to listen to my cable tv music channells thru my stereo, It gives me exposure to music I wouldn't otherwise hear. I'm just wondering if there is any way to improve the sound quality coming from the cable tv digital source.
My system is: Cary 306/200 cdp, Audio Research LS 15 pre amp, BW N802 speakers.
thanks,
joeb

i run mine through the dacs in a pre/pro, sounds pretty good, better than the analog outs.

My digital Coax doesnt solund too bad, sure its not like a direct source but very pleasing all the same. I know I tried to run signal into a DAC a few years ago and it doesnt work.

Hey Avrij, I don't follow you, what do you mean by "pre/pro". I just assumed the rca jack output on the cable box was a digital out and my pre amp converted it to analogue. Are you saying I need a separate DAC?
