Hi Bill,
I have not heard a $50K source, but I think your SACD reference kind of answers the question. SACDs and vinyl typically have much more information on them than CDs, which we hear as decay, body, depth, soundstage...So if you like that feeling in the room, I think it's going to be vinyl.
On a personal level, I am awaiting delivery of a Clearaudio Ovation after a long hiatus from vinyl. Currently kicking myself for dropping so much $ on CDs over the past few years
