I prefer the sound of SACD better than CD.

Many SACD discs releases were originally recorded in analog tape or PCM digital; they were not recorded in DSD. The record companies used those older recordings, converted them with software to DSD64, and then released them as SACD discs.

Today, it is possible for any user to utilize software (for example HQPlayer) to convert any regular CD to DSD on the fly. So in essence, you can listen to the DSD version of any CD without having to purchase the SACD (DSD) version.
