With the same mastering, obviously SACD is better.

+1 it's all about the mastering. I have a very large number (hundreds) of XRCD, XRCD2, XRCD24, K2HD and SHMCD along with a few UHQ formats and SHMSACD and tons of various SACD releases. I have multiple formats on my shelves...of many releases.
Overall every XRCD(x) and K2HD I have are equal to and in a very few cases better than most SACD counterparts releases. This is particularly true of XRCD24 and K2HD 24/100 versions. Something magical and very close to analog with them...
