I doubt any satellite radio tuner sounds much better than any other. The signals have error correction included, and there are probably not very big variations in the quality of the digital-to-analog converters used in one satellite tuner versus others. The big problem, far more than any differences in the receivers themselves, is the limited data bit rates used in the satellite radio signals. I have heard a number of different satellite receivers, and the sound from all of them has been quite variable. One song could sound fairly good and the next one was full of ear-grating hash.
