Is it worth buying an SACD player?


I looked around and it seems there is enough SACD content to justify the investigation. I have a DVD player at the moment that plays SACD and bought a used Miles Davis SACD to check it out, it sounds great but, I can't really test the difference between a "regular CD" and the SACD. The other issue is that the DVD player doesn't access the "higher end sampling" through the analog connections, My 2-channel preamp has no digital input (Rogue Audio Perseus) so maybe without the digital input my question is moot. Any ideas/thoughts?

I think it interesting that Sony has yet to offer a Blue Ray player with SACD decoding. That makes me wonder about the future of SACD.
Pioneer kept making a couple of Laser Disc players for a few years after the obvious demise of that format too.
