How many SACD / Blu-ray audio / DVD audio / etc do you own?

I'm having a hard time increasing the size of my "collection" of media that is higher resolution than CD...  I'm not really wanting to build a large library of digital files, if I can avoid it.  Wondering what people have been able to amass?  I'm down to about 450 LPs and about 900 CDs having reduced my keepers but the other hard media is not even up into the dozens.  If this post attracts many replies, I will scrape numbers out and state a summary at end of Q1 2022.

Thanks!

I have roughly 270-300 SACDs, maybe 20 hi-rez downloads on my Memory Player.  If you're also counting other media, maybe 700 CDs (plus a lot more in the Memory Player) and down to about 530 LPs.  As I get older I'm trying to downsize, used to have a lot more, especially LPs.

I probably have about 1000+  SACDs/DVD-As but they are all ripped with their files on my NAS boxes for playback.  The discs are in storage.

I have about 75 blu ray concerts and many hi resolution blu ray albums such as the Beatles, John Lennon, George Harrison, REM, and many other remixed albums. I wish I could find more blu ray concerts, but it seems not as many are released as in years past.

I read reviews and researched SACD players as they became popular… for a couple years…. It just couldn’t get myself to commit (had to be an audiophile component). I bought a dozen SACDs in anticipation. But Red Book CD players made huge advances in the same timeframe. So, I just got a better CD player. I just plain lucked out. Better to be lucky than good.p

 

I now have access to thousands of high resolution albums through Qobuz. They do sound better than red book CDs on my system.
