Satellite radio is highly compressed and is on a delay incase line of sight is interrupted. So it will not sound as good as a CD or terrestrial radio for that matter. The better the sound system the worse it sounds, especially if you are used to listening to CD's. Its like HDTV vs Regular. You may notice the sound quality improving when you get into larger metropolitan areas because there are ground repeaters in some areas. I have had it for years and have never been impressed by the sound quality, but thats not why I pay for it. Its worth it for me because I like talk radio and I HATE commercials. Pandora is a better option if you don't mind using the data.
