Looking around the interweb there seems to be a total of around 750 albums available currently as "real" DSD downloads. Most are, however, pretty obscure titles even given the predominately specialist repertoire. There are a handful (count 'em) of DSD 128 recordings available on the small 2L label. That's all I can find. No doubt there may be a few more but they won't add up to much as a commercially viable format.
That is tiny in the great scheme of things and probably represents fewer releases than SACD could manage at a similar stage of its introduction. It is certainly vastly smaller than a single month's release schedule of CDs even at this reputedly dying phase of the medium.
