Polk Audio XM Radio Reciever A Winner

Mcmanus, Did you order from the XM email or do the stores have them? How long did it take for you to get?

Just got my Polk xm today and was wondering if the antenna works from inside the room not near the window or does it have to be right at the window for it to work properly? Another question, has anyone one used a D/A with the polk and what were your impressions between the two?

I just got my unit hooked up and have the antenna at a southern window and get full signal. The sound quality is not as good as my digital front end but I'm still happy with the unit. The programing is top notch.... I would not use this for critical listening but more for tunes while doing other things around the house, good for the wife as she like the tunes on but doesn't want to mess around with Transport or TT.
I think my next move will be another digital cable and connect into my D/A, should bring it up a notch.

Mstram, I'm using a Sonic Frontiers SFD mk-2 D/A.
The best way to describe the difference is the polk sounds more like cd and my vintage tuner sounds more like lp. One thing I noticed is right out of the box the polk sounded lifeless. I noticed huge improvements after four or five hours of play. I'm going to mess around with some cones, herbies tenderfeet, etc....
All in all I'm happy with the unit and glad I bought it.
