Agree with Mercman here.
Music availability just isn't there to justify the likely increase in cost (and hassles in getting it to work optimally I would assume) for almost everyone except the small number of ultra-enthusiasts.
Given what I've heard comparing 24/88 & 24/176 digital rips of SACD's with the original played off a Sony 777ES, personally I feel the PCM is more than good enough.
Even if there is decent software, IMO, I don't see DSD64 technically as good enough of an upgrade compared to 24/88+ PCM. Unless we are graced with DSD128 one day, I don't think I'll ever bother upgrading to DSD unless it's essentially free.
