Opposite for me

When SACD and DVD-A came to market, high quality CD playback seemed expensive to chase. Playing some of the good SACDs and DVD-As through mid-priced hi-res players (around $1-2k roughly) gave me sound quality that was at least as good or better than what I was hearing from CDs on significantly more expensive players. That's how I got into hi-res in the first place. I attribute some of the difference to the new formats, and some of it to new masterings that were only available on hi-res.

I don't buy SACDs anymore, but I still buy hi-res downloads. Some are worth the extra cost over the CD, and some aren't. I try to scour the net for opinions before buying, and generally I think I've gotten my money's worth.
