Digital Radio Sound Quality in Comparison
Hi All,
I'm investigating the possibility to purchase a Digital Radio XM or whatever brand. Now, because I am a Time Warner DTV subscribed customer I receive some music channels trough the TV called music choice, I believe. If XM's sound does not differ from those TV digital music channels I will save my money. Could anybody please advice? How XM sounds in comparison to the music choice channel offered through the TV? Thank you |

I haven't tried XM (which I know is compressed) but MusicChoice sucks.

Digital Radio Sound Quality in Comparison
I have been a Direct TV subscriber, and an XM subscriber for some time now.
I think it goes without saying, MP3 audio is not a replacement for CD audio. The quality of audio on DTV is good for "fill music" while you are working, entertaining, etc. It has good quality, but not great. I find XM quality not to be as good as DTV. It is more compressed. The bass is muddy and lacking any real low bass. Be aware that it is tailored for automotive listening. Not living room listenning. However, I like the portability of XM. Small dockable unit with a boom box attachment. Car to house, to boom box is easy. It is another music option. Just like FM radio is. Hang on to PCM CD's. Say no to MP3 John Al wrote: Hi All, I'm investigating the possibility to purchase a Digital Radio XM or whatever brand.
