I have hundreds of SACDs and CDs--I gave up on surface-noisy, cult-fetish LPs decades ago--and not a single CD sounds as good as the poorest SACD. The multichannel Classical SACDs sound so much better than 2-channel CDs or LPs, the latter aren't even close.
Multichannel Classical SACDs sound MUCH-more natural and spacious than any CD or LP could ever hope to sound.
So there's one reason, Drew. The other reason is overall resolution, with SACDs superior again.

My post states at the end that going to mch would be worthwhile with even an entry level player, but probably not for just stereo. If one gets a better than entry level mch player, so much the better.
Settle down, man.

Is where you claim that NO CDs sound as good as ANY SACD. I have some CDs that provide absolutely top-notch sound quality. These are almost always HDCD encoded or use K2 or SuperBit technology.
Take a good listen to the Creedence Clearwater K2 CDs, the Santana Abraxas SuperBit CD, or almost any of the Grateful Dead/Other Ones HDCD encoded discs and see if you don't agree...

But do understand that I spend my time listening to the music and NOT comparing the sounds of layers of my SACDs or different-disc versions of the same music.

Alban I can dig, Anton not so much. :-(
I saw your post in Music about Wozzeck!
All is forgiven!
Berg Violin Concerto is a personal Fav.
The Bach Chorale is a stroke of genius!

I totally agree, mch SACD is far more realistic than stereo whether LP or CD as for a SACD player I recommend Sony XA5400ES which I understand is still available only in the US, incidently it is also an excellent CD player.
