Sirius Radio, another year. Better Sound?

Once again, my primary Sirius subscription is up for renewal. I'm just using the Kenwood home receiver through the analog outputs. I know I might get some marginal improvement if I use an external DAC. Someone please tell me there is a new radio or magic incantation that will get me someplace close to decent quality sound out of the Sirius service. It's an incredible irony that a service with such great programming has such crappy audio!

I love Sirius and I finally have it sounding really good, considering. Still no CD quality but close enough for music to be fully enjoyable during critical listening.

I get it with my TV subscription so I get the audio right from my Dish Network satellite box. The trick has been nice cables. I thought Sirius didn't sound very good until I put some nice cables in the mix. Synergistic Research works great and I am loving Sirius like never before. But perhaps my satellite box has better quality output than your Kenwood?
