My father won a Sirius Streamer GT receiver. He's already an XM subscriber, so he gave it to me.
I activated my radio last night, and so far, I'm really disappointed with the sound quality. Sounds very thick and muddy. I often hear compression artifacts.Spikes aren't uncommon and my tweeters crackle. My father is using his XM receiver on the stock deck in his car, using the FM transmitter and it sounds better than this! It sounds like I'm listening to a 64 kbit mp3.
I have it hooked up using a standard y-cable. I'm not using the FM transmitter. See my signature for my system specs. I really don't think it should sound like this. Am I missing something? Is there an EQ? Different codecs? Something hidden somewhere that will allow me to tweak the sound? It sounds absolutely horrible!
