Value is subjective. If one pays a higher price for product A when he could have purchased product B for less, the transaction is strong evidence that the purchaser placed more value on product A.
It may not be "viable", but I've bought a number of downloads at prices higher than the SACD price. There are a few good reasons for this behavior:
1. I get the music now, not after driving miles to a record store
2. I don't pay postage or gas
3. I get the recording without DRM
4. I don't have, nor will I ever buy, an SACD player or an SACD disk (because of DRM).
5. I lack conveniently accessible storage space to hold physical media.
6. I hate the damn shrink wrapping
7. I detest the tiny artwork that comes with CDs and SACDs.
Others have different preferences. That's why people buy and sell.
