I believe Jim Smith points out in his book, Get Better Sound

With analog, you can hear music below the noise floor, with digital you cannot. So it's not hard to believe that your very best vinyl and hardware has far superior low level detail retrieval & noise floor characteristics.

Of course the extremely low noise floor of SACDs are a big advantage for the quietest passages of classical music. And to some extent you want a noise floor that will filter unnatural noises from musical instruments or distracting breath noises from vocalists.
