move to multi-channel audio-only

I know that -by definition- audiophiles will stick to 2 -channel audio. But then, I wondered if there are people who made the move to 5-channel audio based around high-end digital front-ends like the Esoteric ux-1 LE? How were your experiences? I know that there are some SACD 5-channel audiophile recordings available and wondered if any of you guys have had some out-of-this-world experiences based on multi-channel audio systems? Thanks for sharing your experiences.

I had a high quality surround system, in a fairly large room, a few years back...Sony XA-777es, Krell amps, Apogee speakers, VMPS subwoofers. Sound was outstanding at times, except...I was an early adapter, and good surround disc's were far and few between. Most were remixed garbage, or...just plain over the top, with show off effects that I didn't like.

I may give it another go someday?
