Some things it sounds a little better, but overall if you're looking to get blown away save your $400. I think most people in this field, myself included, tend to hear better sound to make themselves feel better about their purchase.

There isn't even that big a difference between SACD and regular CD but some people swear it's like night and day.

Baloney. This is pure FUD. All the new sound codecs are radically superior to the old and it is so sonically obvious that it is stunning.
