In noob terms without mumbo jumbo, it sounds way way way better. The real question is "can your ear tell the difference?"
biggest difference IMO is the mixing abilities that 5.1 provides, which SACDs offer. Listening to The Downward Spiral (NIN) in DVD audio (which is far inferior to SACD) sounds insane. ProLogic just can't provide that kind of surround.

as far as quality not sure if the difference is that much better to be able to tell. Like i said biggest benefit for me is the 5.1.
