I don't know what levels you refer to (as per my questions below), but I personally noticed a lot of details in some live SACDs when they are played at high volumes or on headphones.For example Waltz for Debby, is mastered higher than Sunday Night at the Village Vanguard, and on that album you can distinctly hear some background noises, without getting painful high frequencies in the foreground. This is very obvious in the first tracks, and in the alternate takes there's some long parts that are pure ambience.
f you pay attention and increase the volume, on the CD version, the sounds are also there, but the instruments sound very harsh, unpleasant. For my un-technical mind, the SACD has a similar effect to some tube amplification I have heard.
Then, you are right, at low volumes most of the details in the background disappear (on my system at least).
So, to turn the argument around: I think SACD sounds better at high levels :)
