One thing I've found to improve sound quality is open alsamixer 
(assuming you're using alsa) and with a good quality MP3 playing 
(contradiction in terms warning) mute everything that's not need to play 
the music, particularly concentrating on muting all the analogue sources 
and any 'efects' this often clears up a lot of noise, (hiss & hum) then 
set the master volume to 30% and increase the PCM or whatever controls 
the MP3 playback volume to 100% then tinker with the master to get the 
best quality.
