I got DirecTV HD with 50+ XM stations in my package. I pass the digital out of my receiver via TOSLINK to a Meridian 518 (switching all my digital sources) and then S/PDIF to my Museatex Melior DAC. Sounds as good as a compressed source is going to be for me - especially since all I had to do is run the TOSLINK to my 518. If I want to see what's playing, I just look up at my flatscreen TV. 4k for the Magnum? LOL - if I want to roll tubes I'll hook up my CAL Alpha. If I want to "massage sound" I can play with the DSP functions on the Meridian.
