I don't consider that I spent a heap of money on my DVD-Audio/SACD/CD Player, the Pioneer 667A, but comparing audio, even taking away surround sound, there's no comparison. As an example, comparing Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon's SACD layer to the CD layer on the same disk, there's much more dynamics with the SACD layer. I'll admit having a decent Amp/Speaker set up will help no end. I'm interested in what album you did your A/B comparison with, and what equipment you own, I haven't spent a heap on a high quality CD player so am probably speaking out of my depth, but most things I've heard on DVD-Audio or SACD have blown away anything on their CD layers.
