Hey guys, maybe you can help me out. I just bought the Sportster Sirius Tuner which came with a plug and play car kit. Additionally, I also bought a home kit along with the tuner. I am fairly concerned though as I feel the sound quality I am getting from my tuner is really bad.
Right now I have it hooked up to my amp (NAD c340 and a pair of Paradigm Monitor 3s) using a decent Monster cable splitting the line-out jack to RCA outputs. I'm getting a strong signal from the Satellite as well. However, I'm concerned as everything sounds bad. It's clear, and there's no break-up. The sound quality is just nothing near CD-quality. Even FM radio sounds better. There's no bass response or high's from any channel. I'd say it's comparable to about a 64kb mp3. So is this normal? Should I be receiving such bad sound quality from this service? I'm guesing no, and there's hopefully some sort of issue with my Sirius equipment.
Anyway, which of these do you think it is (as I know it's not my amp, speakers, or cable)? Sportster Tuner, Home kit/docking station, or Sirius service, or am I just an idiot?
Thanks for any help/suggestions you might be able to offer as I'd really like to solve this problem.
