They sound a lot better, more accurate reproduction of the original sound wave, in theory anyway.

EDIT: I'd say the higher production values of the DVD-A and SACD stuff gives far more improvement to the quality of the material than the actual underlying technology though, I don't think I've ever seen a real study that shows anyone can tell the difference, and I know of one study that shows people can't tell the difference between a high quality source and that same source downsampled to 16bit/44kHz.
