I would get a player that can do SACD so you can hear for yourself.
Comparing regular and SACD versions of same music, i.e. Oscar Peterson 'For My Friends' series, my perception/conclusion/self-delusion about SACD is that the noise floor seemed lower, a night without moon or stars, an imaginary black hole.
If you concentrate to hear a difference. What fun is that. And, total lack of noise doesn't make the recording better. They were great recordings to begin with.
It is more about how the content moves you, if the recording personnel did a great job. Thwn, how much involvement your system can provide?
Prior to other tweaks, I highly recommend remote balance control, apply a speck to some recordings, bask in the real difference it can make.
