Stephen, you are correct.

Yes, our early DSD A/D Converters were not up to the task, so we have decided to wait until fully developed converters are available before we go back to the master tapes again for the reissue. as I said in previous post, it is possible we may use analogue tapes in the future but now we decide to wait until SACD technology is more mature.
Look at it this way, how many times we at Sony reissues Miles Davis' album "Kind of Blue". It will happen with SACD, too.
About the difference you may hear between CD vs. SACD of same titles, the explanation is, when you hear SACDs, you hear the full resolution of our 20 bit/48 KHz or 24 bit/48 KHz masters, on CDs you hear the sound of the down convertion from higher bit/sampling rate to the 16 bit/ 44.1 KHz world.
