All I can say is, I own a number of SACDs and played around with the format for a while but never completely jumped in the deep end and never amassed a huge collection.
On well recorded and mastered material, I found that stereo SACDs didn't sound significantly better than the CD played on a high quality dedicated CD player.
And then high resolution computer audio and DACs came along (PCM and DSD) so physical CD and SACD media are just legacy formats taking up storage space in my basement.
As for Hirez Highway, I believe many inmates who have graduated to computer audio spend more time in the Computer Audio Asylum.
