Tom - are the SACD's you've listened mixed in 5.1 surround or DTS?
I've been a Depeche Mode fan - not as much these days as once Alan Wilder walked, the output has never been the same, but they released remasters of all of their back catalog in 2005, each of which include a remastered cd and DVD with album in 5.1 and DTS.
The clarify and quality is amazing - you get so used to two channel that often subtle things are missed, and hearing them in surround is like rediscovering songs.
Unfortunately not many artists are doing this (yet) except for live video concerts and like SACD it's not something that's gone mainstream.

SACD multi channel is its own format and is neither Dolby 5.1 surround nor DTS. Unlike either of those formats, SACD is not compressed.
One thing the audiophile community is watching is whether the new bluray multichannel audio formats (from Dobly and DTS which are both lossless compression or no compression at all) will take off as format for multi-channel music.
Frankly, given the way music is consumed today I doubt it. But I'm really bad at predicting these things.
