JVC XRCD versus SACD


Considering the source as comparable--for example reissues--how do those of you with very good CD/SACD or Universal players compare the musical-sonic enjoyment of the two.
XRCDs are very pricey. Are they really that great when played on top flight players?

The K2HD discs are great, but very expensive. I am amazed by the ones I have. I have the first three ELPs. I can't compare them directly to SACD because I don't have the same titles but you don't get surround with them which may not matter to you.
The three K2HD Discs I have sound much better than their CD counterparts but the HD discs are supposed to be better than regular XRCDs. I don't no if they would be better or worse than SACD.
I have copied K2 HD discs and they sounded as good as the original but SACD can't be copied by any means I'm able to lay my hands on easily. The CD layer is easy.
