I had the digital output from my dish HD receiver running directly into a B&K Ref 30 running 5 channel stereo. The Dish supplied Serius sound was incredibly good-like 96/20 untill a few months ago. Then, they replaced my favorite channel, serius 18 the coffee house, with contemporary alblum rock. Now it sounds like high compression MP3-really unlistenable. Don't know if the now XM owned serius downgraded the feeds to Dish or whether Dish downgraded the signal to add more HD bandwidth. But it really sucks compared to the previous outstanding sound quality and I really miss the Serius exclusive acoustic versions on many great songs recorded in their own studio.
Directv music channel versus AM/FM Tuner ?
I'm sure most audiophiles use their seperate am/fm tuners to their system...
Are there any A'gon member did connect their Directv box to your pre-amp tuner inputs to use as your FM tuner that will goes to your whole audio system of course with free music from music channel and use directv remote as to change channel instead of fm station.If you decide to use directv music channel,then your music channel are very limited but non-stop of music from either the 40's,50's,60's,70's,80's,90's & etc...non-stop of music.
