John, the horse has already left the stable: " I have purchased a few SACD hybrids ".
The OP also does not mention having a computer based replay system nor even a DAC, particularly one that can process DSD128 and DSD 256. It is the OP's desire to hear the SACD layer of the hybrids that he already owns.
Most downloadable DSD files are DSD64. In any case If the OP were to go the route of downloads he will find more availability with PCM hi-res files. It is also worth bearing in mind that downloads are a shrinking market largely substituted by streaming.
In any case some people are simply more confident with a silver disc based system. As my friend said when I showed him the process of downloading including installing the vendor's download manager, unzipping the file etc. " I'm not going to do all that".
Best Wishes
Pete
