I'm not gonna buy them. You need a "SACD" compatible CD or DVD player, and these are not usually included on standard (or entry level) kit these days. There is a bit of a format war going on between DVD-Audio and SACD. DVD Audio is apparently technically better, but with SACD being owned by Sony, you can see that Sony music is going to be biased towards the SACD format, with everything else going toward DVD Audio. The good thing about DVD Audio is that most of the discs these days are also formatted to play in a standard DVD Video player (with the enhanced audio quality available to those wth dedicated DVD-A players), leaving Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS in some cases for DVD-Video users. SACD will not play in ANYTHING that doesn't have the SACD logo on the front, so there is no point buying them unless you intend to purchase an SACD compatible piece of kit to play them on.
