Actually if you even listen to the actual audio stream directly from
the satellite using Sirius hardware, you'll hear a lot of imperfections
and digital artifacts. Satellite radio is far from Hi-fidelity. It's
more about variety. So you may want to reconsider your point.
This is the dirty little secret of the satellite radio industry: what
they're broadcasting sounds like crap.
I was actually shocked at how bad Sirius sounds "over the air"; I
expected it to sound better than the crappy WMA stream you hear online,
but in fact it sounds pretty close to that. Probably fine for listening
in your car (or via a Sirius boombox), but I can't imagine listening to
it on my stereo and being happy for long with the sound.
(I subscribe to Sirius so I can listen to Howard Stern while commuting;
I figured the music channels would be a bonus and looked forward to
setting up something at home to listen to them, but I dropped that idea
when I heard what they sounded like.)
