Any ideas?

My sonos gets satellite radio via the internet and plays through the MCD500; it sounds good

Besides surf Audioaficionado.org, I got all of the horsepower to make running Aperture a breeze. I have a Nikon D700 and a D2X, and I shoot in RAW, so I wanted something that would handle that. It's pretty slick!

IMHO XM sound quality is HORRIBLE!!!!!! In fact i gave up on it after getting a Sonos system. Internet radio is MUCH better sounding than XM plus you have virtually infinite Channels of music choices from Pandora and Last.fm to many 320kbs radio stations worldwide... plus you can use an external DAC if you want with the Sonos

You might want to try it through the MR88 and an MCD500. It's certainly not as good as a CD, but it doesn't sound horrible on this combination (in my humble opinion). I have Sonos and the Sirius "high quality" option for online listening, and it doesn't sound as good to me as XM through my MR88/MCD500, although it does sound very good to me.
