I was consulting for Sony back then, and while I wasn't personally involved with SACD development I know that they were very aware of the sonic problems with the digital equipment and CD pressings of the time, and anxious to improve them. The story I always tell as I heard it from Dave Smith is that when they switched during a recording session from the live mic feed to the analog confidence master, the client's expression changed to one of dismay, and then when they switched to the digital master, it changed to one of horror! The converter experiments they were conducting indicated that a higher sampling rate substantially improved reproduction of the highs, and they found DSD sonically preferable to high-resolution PCM.
