Assuming that the quote is genuine and not a slanted paraphrase (I am not suggesting you did the slanting) it just might be a case of a guy who has been at this a long time saying what is on his mind, but other people don't want to hear it.
I have many SACDs I really like. However, my record label's offshore distributors have been negative on SACDs at the prices I would need to charge.
Now, there may be a straw in the wind heralding change. There is an industry consortium advocating a DSD over USB 2.0 standard. If that happens, things might loosen up on a hurry, because then DAC makers could add that to new products and transport makers could (in theory) get Sony's blessing to send DSD through a USB out.
Because as things are now reported to be in the marketplace, when the exact same title comes out on JVC XRCD and on SACD, the JVC XRCD outsells the SACD 4 to 1. People who do this for a living have to take note of such things.
And I think that the best of today's high-end PCM DACs sould better than any SACD player I have personally heard, and the only hi-end DAC I know that can handle DSD is the MSB, which is pricey.
Further adding to SACD's woes is that none of the upscale music-server options can handle DSD, so what gets ripped into a Sooloos is the CD-Q layer.
Ciao,
