On my Bose with CF card I am hearing sounds in songs that I didn't even know existed. If you don't plan on using CF card, don't bother going for Bose.

Just a quick note about the CD v. XM v. rip.
The CD will be the best quality unless you do a lossless rip to your compact flash card, which it sounds like you have but CD is still technically better. I rip all my music at lossless WMA which makes it maybe 1% less than a CD quality but I am to lazy to get that 1% back. :P
Also, the base stereo can only handle CDs or Auxiliary input but the limiting factor is not the head unit but the speakers. They have no lows and the highs are pinched.
