SACD

That all sounds well and good but there’s one teeny little problem. That problem is newer SACDs, Hi Res Downloads, even highly touted SHM CDs and SACDs from Nippon are showing highly compressed. The trend is not your friend. 😢

Have been following your lead for over a year and find the CD approach, when up sampled with SoX in JRiver, provides an audio result fully equivalent to SACDs.
BTW, some SACDs are notable, especially the Grammy award winning Dire Straits "Brother in Arms." In a 5-channel environment, this one is riveting.

@elizabeth ,Not sure, so please don't be offended. But there used to be a writer for a mag with the same name as you. And she was a proponent of SACD. Stopped writing some years back. I am assuming that you are a different Elizabeth?
