Why does Sat radio sound so bad????

Quality of sound through L7 in order

CD Playing MP3
IPOD Playing the same MP3
FM Radio
Sat
AM

The IPOD playing the same MP3 does not have the depth and clarity of the same MP3 playing from the CD. What should the IPOD Volume and output setting be at for best play back? The volume level is also much lower so I get blasted when I switch back to CD.

I did not get the SAT radio for talk, but for music. Is it supposed to sound almost as bad as AM radio. I have not heard SAT radio before. Can anyone comment?

I'd say SAT's mid range and tremble sound close to FM, but bass is 10x more muddled than FM.
Therefore, yes, its bad.
