My Sonus Faber system sounds fantastic.
But .... you can't play crappy music through it and expect quality.
I have mp3 files on my phone that I play direct, and holy smokes it is SOOOO crisp.
Radio, on other hand ... is okay.
The experience is definitely a function of the quality of the input music.
Also, some adjustment of the settings, equalizer, output settings ... helps a lot.
