Streaming SiriusXM is awful

I have tried streaming SiriusXM music to my sound system. The sound quality is awful. Is there any way to improve it?

The comedy channels are fun. But FM or even free Spotify sounds better. Nothing you can really do.

The streaming signal has better SQ and some XM apps offer a choice of higher quality streams - but even the best isn't really hi-fi.
