Hi All,
My Charger has the Nav radio with Sound Group II and Sirius. This is my first experience with satellite radio, and unfortunately, I'm underwhelmed by the sound quality.
I've read in other groups that satellite sound quality is "approximately as good as good fm," but to me the FM in this stereo generally sounds way better than the Sirius.
The low end on the Sirius isn't too bad, but there isn't a lot of punch, and the high end usually sounds weak with quite a bit of metallic artifacting (like the sampling rate is too low). The EQ can mask the artificating to a degree, but then the overall sound quality is pretty lifeless.
I'm happy with the rest of the system. For example, MP3s ripped at 160K sound excellent in comparison. Am I just expecting too much from the satellite?
