XM and Sirius both use PAC (Perceptual Audio Coder), a perception-based compression technique similar to MP3 but optimized for low bitrates. I have read that XM and Sirius both have maximum bitrates per channel of 64 kbps.In my opinion, none of this matters. All that matters is how good the programming is. I'd much rather listen to a low-quality encoding of good music than an SACD of crap.
