So could HiRez downloads sound as good as SACD?

I'm not a computer-based audio person, just an SACD fan.
Is this possible or is it already around in some fashion?
What kind of hardware or software is needed?

I thought this lossless stuff was just meant to replicate redbook CDs, not to be at the DSD level. Am I wrong?
Thanks.

it is possible that for a particular digital front end redbook sounds better than sacd using another particular front end.

i have hirez dvrs, from refereence recordings, and i prefer their sound to sacd . but maybe i don't Have the best sacd player.

so it seems that the answer is a combination of software and hardware
