Before you kick off a repeat war, see this thread http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38596 for a discussion of DVD-A and SACD vs red book quality. It was all thrashed out there (with the usual people not budging from their usual views).
As for the money aspect of the question, it depends on the players of course. Personally, I would absolutely not trust my own sighted conclusions about digital players (let alone a $200 vs $20k player). The differences are subtle (above a certain price-point say 1-2k) IME. At a recent AV show I walked into the dCS room, heard Diana Krall playing and my first thought was "speakers sound nice"!
