Sound quality of XM radio Direct TV vs standalone


How good is the sound quality of XM radio? I have it on my Direct TV and run it thru my Creek integrated and decent speakers. It sounds just "ok" not anything special. Are the sonics better (much better?) with a regular stand alone subscription for the full XM service and using, say, a Polk XM tuner? If it's not much better, I don't think I'll pay the additional cost even though I would get twice the number of music channel offerings. Any help here? Thanks.

I run my Dishnet feed through my Audio Aero Capitole and the quility is really nice. The Blues programming is really good. Any drop in quality is more than matched by the fact that there are no DJs and no Commercials.
