I've whimpered about this before, but I still hold out hope of a
resource, listing recordings available in hi-res, with notes on the
various versions, and how they relate to original mastering, etc.
e.g. just as you say, this recording was

legitimate use, and from my reckoning, of about 8000 SACDs in existence,

everything else are often the ones that heard strange things before but
never seriously questinoned themself. Higher numbers are enough to make

First off, I agree that DSD doesn't have a big future. Most of the music
being recorded in DSD today is classical. If you like classical you can
even get quite a decent library as downloads. Otherwise, there isn't
much to get.
I think a lot of the excitement about DSD is coming from audiophiles
Interesting how business seems to work. Blade Runner in this case.
