I am not an audiophile but on my Pioneer SACD player, I don’t hear much difference between SACD and CD. There is one famous study that stated only around 49% of test subjects could hear a difference which approaches the probability of chance.

Most likely a Sony blu ray player. Does any other brand play sacd?
Technics SL-G700 - see above: [iorr.org] or [www.Technics.com] .
The Sony UBP-X800(M2) is a 4K-Universal-Disc-Player which plays also SACD: [www.Sony.com] .
Samsung and Oppo don't make Optical-Disc-Players (even 4K) anymore.
There're are still other Manufacturers of SACD-Players:
From German HiFi-Magazine STEREO (3rd column: Prices in €)
From German HiFi-Magazine AUDIO (3rd column: Prices in €, 4th column: SACD-capability)

Go to the Connections page and click on the ABKCO remasters page by Lucpak, which tells you everything you need to know about the 2002 releases.
I bought all the hybrid SACD's when they came out except for Hot Rocks. Ruby Tuesday is noted for missing vocals during the chorus. There are some songs that I still prefer my London CD's which were mastered by Mobile Fidelity, especially Aftermath UK.

OMG, are we the same person? If you tell me that you bought two Satanic's, and still have one sealed, I'm going to check and see if you live in my basement.

If you heard things on SACD that you hadn't heard on the original vinyl...you probably didn't have a good enough record player
Depends on the condition of the original vinyl too.
Crackles and pops hide musical information.
That is where the vinyl lovers have a flaw as it being the best way to listen to music - I prefer to not have the vinyl noises.

That wouldn't surprise me. The amazing sound of the ABKCO remasters may be more of a product of the exceptional DSD remastering than the format itself.

Even SACD can't save Satanic.

No extra Satanic, but when the 94 Virgin releases came out I bought all of them, I did buy 2 Some Girls discs, one still unopened. In hindsight, I should have picked up an extra Sticky Fingers, too. Bought them all at A&B Sound.

Back to the topic, guys.
Did anybody mentioned that redbook layer on Got Live If You Want It! is a total screw-up? It is mastered weird , like in fake stereo. I've Been Loving You is the strangest mix you can possibly imagine, although they had true stereo version on More Hot Rocks. At least the EU version from matrix 50486162/UNIVERSAL 882296-2 01 IFPI LB46.
It is not only the very worst 'live' album, but also remaster 2002 sounds terrible comparing to old 'fake live' but true stereo West German London CD [820 137-2].
