Happy you like DSD, yes its different, but IMO its not always better different. I believe that generally DSD is in a niche recording area & the people who use it tend to be serious about producing a high quality recording all the way through to the end product & this is probably the main reason why we hear something better/different with DSD. In my system & with my DSD recordings it sounds different & its very clear to the point its not really debatable. Soundstage is larger & with clearly defined spatial separation, dynamic transients are so much more …. startling is probably the most descriptive .
I believe its best suited to direct 'live' studio recordings using DSD or similar with the minimal post recording editing. Simple acoustic folk, jazz, coral & small ensemble work is better suited, big orchestra & rock requiring multiple microphone/input feeds & mixing/mastering are not. Also remember DSD gets converted to analogue for any mixing/editing & then converted back.
