Well, I want it on DVD audio.
I don't understand why they don't push that a bit more.

I always preferred vinyl to cd's.
The sound's more 'close'.
The same can be said about music-dvd's. You immediately hear the difference, even the most untrained ears.
I think it's very important, to feel 'close' to music.

But I thought anything higher than CD quality was supposed to be indistinguishable from CD audio? (at least by the human ear)

No, it isn't, certainly not.
That's the salesman argument.
And good equipment makes the difference huge

I wish I had the money. One of the first things I'll buy when I earn enough money is a top-notch audio equipment.
Especially with delicate music of, for instance, Arvo Part, I often miss the essential subtleties.

hmyes...
but the same could have been said about dvd video.
I guess they pushed it because dvd's are cheaper to produce than video tapes. CD's and DVD-audio are of course equally expensive. But DVD-audio needs production lines to be build, and cd does not.
But then, there is piracy. They can only keep their business if they offer a better alternative. Which is DVD-audio.
