Yes, I have some SACD's that sound better then their vinyl counterparts. Miles Blue comes to mind as just one example of the SACD being better. I think the future is Blu-Ray audio. Sony had promised earlier this year that Miles Blue would be the their first blu. Still waiting. It appears that Sony got sidetracked with the mega Miles reissue for $1.2K. Marketing suits told them to hold off the blu ray as it would interfere with the mega promotion.
