I haven't heard enough multi to make a valid comparison in my own system. What I have heard, at good dealers through good systems is that both SACD and DVD-Audio are both "better" sounding (more like analog) than RBCD. The emotion you refer to is towards the music IMO, not towards the delivery system. I'd love to ditch the big 12" albums, record cleanig machine, freakin' expensive cartridges, fussy TT's, etc, for a simple little disc. Emotional atttachment to vinyl indeed!
