Is there a web site for streaming DSD recordings to include DSD, Double DSD & Quad DSD?
PrimeSeat enhanced their DSD Streaming on July 4, 2017 with the addition of DSD 11.2 MHz (aka Quad DSD or DSD 256) Stereo streaming.  Another reason to keep an eye on PrimeSeat.  They really are pushing the boundaries of what is possible streaming... 
What DACs support DSD input NOT via USB?
Take a look at the upcoming NADAC (Network Attached Digital to Analog Converter) models. Comes in 2-Channel and 8-Channel and does not use USB at all - only Ethernet. http://nadac.merging.com/

Yes, DSD with the Lampizator is very good.http://positive-feedback.com/Issue76/lampizator_dac.htm 
Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners
Same experience here. At around 150 hours of burn-in/music play on the Sony HAP-Z1, it really sounds nice.

Taking the Lampizator Big 6 to the Next Level
Maybe so. On the other hand, some companies like exaSound specifically recommend against using JPlay. See their write up at http://www.exasound.com/Blog/tabid/74/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/131/Should-I-use-JPlay-with-exaSound-DACs.aspx Best... 
Is DSD download already an extinct format?
Sony was showing DSD Multichannel recording and DSD Download systems at last weekend's California Audio Show. The show report from Enjoy the Music is at http://www.enjoythemusic.com/california_audio_show_2014/sunday/sony_sacd_dsd.htm 
Is DSD download already an extinct format?
You might want to drop by NativeDSD and PentaTone. Between them they have over 500 Multichannel & Stereo DSD Downloads, all natively recorded in DSD.

Are new SACD and/or DVD-A titles being released?
FYI, I heard from Mobile Fidelity today. They are not dropping SACDs. In fact, they are actively looking to license more albums for SACD release. 
Are new SACD and/or DVD-A titles being released?
Yes, as Stereo5 says new SACDs are coming out on a regular basis from a number of labels. Over at Audio Fidelity, they will release their first two 5.1 Multchannel SACDs later this month. Hadn't heard the rumor about Mo Fi dropping SACD. News to me.

Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners
You'll definitely want to do that! Suggest trying some of the DSD recorded material from the Downloads Now, DSD File and NativeDSD web sites. And some of the DSD and Analog Master tape sourced material on Super HiRez. With the Sony HAP-Z1, the sou... 
What happened with the SACD format?
According to the www.sa-cd.net web site, there are now over 9,500 SACDs on the market with more being released each week. Clearly the SACD format continues to have fans out there! :)
