Sony has tried to introduce a successor format in Super Audio CD (also known as DVD-Audio), but it’s never went anywhere. The last big push for it was last year.

SACD and DVD-A were two competing formats, not the same thing.
SACD format is 1-bit wide with 2 million samples a second - DSD streaming. DVD-A is just a disc format on which you can put any of numerous bit rates and word sizes, such as 24/88.2, 24/96, or 24/188.
While SACD is still limping along, DVD-A sank like a stone.
New vinyl is outselling both of the competing new CD audio formats.
