RE: Why Rebuy? - I'm with you because as good as 192kHz PCM can be it still isn't anywhere near DSD.

Yes, except part of the appeal to record producers of both SACD and Blu-Ray is copy protection. Downloads are antithetical to that. Note that there are no DSD downloads available. Also, the download times measured in hours for a typical household of hi rez multichannel album is probably way too much for most people. 2 channel 96K FLAC or the equivalent may be workable for some, but even there it's too much for most, not to mention a lot less convenient. Add video content, and a Blu-ray download could take the better part of a day to download, typically. So, I think disks and players will be with us for quite awhile longer, at least in hi rez.
