Since 10 of January 2008 no more SACD players at all?
Is it realistic?

Sure it is. Announcements of these things generally come in waves, concentrated around major trade shows like CES, IFA, CEDIA, CEATEC, etc.

Incidentally, there's apparently an 'AV Fest' show going on in Japan and while I haven't seen any new SACD player announcements there are interesting set-ups with multichannel high-resolution DACs here:

The SACD player used here looks to me like a regular Denon DVD3910.
Existing Pioneer SACD players and an interesting 8-channel 1-bit AD/DA from Sharp here:

Notice how it operates at DSD sampling frequency of 2.82 MHz.
Has anyone heard of the "1 bit Audio Consortium" mentioned in the picture?

Toshiba SD-6980
Despite being on Toshiba's website, I think this model has long been discontinued.
