Should I buy SACD's or Buy Quality Multi-Format CD player and use Old Digital CD's?

I’ve been looking at some SACD players, but if you want multichannel, there aren’t too many options.  I liked the classic XA5400ES for multich, especially since my pre/pro could do DSD over HDMI.

However, with the ability to just download DSDs, I think the best way to do it is to just download them, getting a bit perfect copy, and use a multichannel DAC like the e38 or a surround pre/pro that can accept multichannel DSD input. It’s getting real tough to justify a dedicated multichannel SACD player if you can get the few decent multichannel DSDs directly. 

Just as a note, I have a regular CD player (beosound 9000) but I’ve supplemented it with an NAD M50.2 digital player. It can rip my CD collection (2 TB, in a RAID mirrored setup) but also links to Tidal (and decodes MQA to 24/96) and downloads my purchases from HDTracks.com. Both players are connected to the DAC on my pre/pro (emotiva XMC-1, burr brown DSP).

I was going to get an SACD player, but I went with the M50.2, which I thought was more functional.

I will admit that I’m a little annoyed that DSD support may not come for this device, but as a ripper/streamer, it has 90% of the features I want at a very reasonable price.
