If you are asking whether your CD player should decode SACDs, then it probably should -- but most better CD players will.

If you are asking whether it makes sense to concentrate on SACD playback or SACDs, then don't bother. It is largely a dead format. DSD decoding is worthwhile in a DAC but don't think your question is oriented toward that.

Have been following your lead for over a year and find the CD approach, when up sampled with SoX in JRiver, provides an audio result fully equivalent to SACDs.
BTW, some SACDs are notable, especially the Grammy award winning Dire Straits "Brother in Arms." In a 5-channel environment, this one is riveting.
