it's also less processed than CDs. it takes around 9 steps of conversion to make a cd while it only takes 3 for SACD. if you've heard an SACD you'll hear the difference. i have an SACD of peter gabriel's first album and his most recent, 'up', and even in stereo, these versions are so much better than the originals you won't even believe it. and they're not remixed for surround, either! (SACD stereo) and guess how much my speakers cost? $500 for both.
