Polk XM Radio Tuner

[Billy Balou]

I was wondering if anyone has heard the quality of the music from this unit (Polk XRt12 XM Reference tuner) for XM radio? I'll be connecting this unit to my legendary NAD 773 receiver (where's the love?) which is surrounded by Green Mountain Audio Europa speakers with 2 rocket subs. ahhhhh....the sound......

The info below is taken from Polk's web site:
* Easily connects to any home audio system with either analog or direct digital connections
* Optical and coaxial digital outputs for lossless, pure performance
* Audiophile grade parts insure you'll hear 100% of XM's potential sound quality
* Built-in audiophile-grade Burr-Brown™ Digital-to-Analog Converter for superior sound quality
* Premium high gain audio preamp section that is dead quiet, low in distortion and wide response matches the output of typical audio source components (CD, DVD players)

Thanks

The sound is great, I have been listening to it for about 2 months now and it's great. Everyone who I have shown it to has been more than satisfied with the sound.

Does'nt the XRt12 unit require a dedicated subscription? I have had XM radio for quite some time and really like the versatility of the Roady and SkyFy units, we use them on the boat, in the house as well as with the vehicles. The XM through the home kit sounds to me like an old AM radio station while being played on our home system though.
