There is no difference in 'listening' quality. They both sound the same
and both are much better than Red Book CD.

SACD seems to have won the format war. DVD-a is dying a painful death
and SACD is on life support but may make it. There are more SACD titles
with more labels devoted to bringing out SACD (www.SA-CD.net) over DVD-A.
