Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: backwards compatibility of SACD players?

Rather than buying SACDs, wouldn't it be better to buy DSD128 and DSD256 downloads? I've owned only 10 or so SACDs and the only SACD player I've ever owned is the Oppo BDP-105D. I don't particularly like the sound of the Oppo compared to some other DACs I own. Consequently, I had all my SACDs ripped to my hard drive as DSD64 files and I play them through either my Brooklyn Bridge or my FiiO M15, both of which I prefer to my Oppo. Therefore, I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better to simply buy DSD128 and DSD256 downloads rather than investing in SACDs.

Thanks!
