Does DSD sound better than everything else?
It depends on whom you talk to. Most people that have heard both DSD and 96/24 LPCM find them comparable if the audio source material was prepared under similar conditions. Many engineers have an issue with DSD regarding the theoretical limits of the system (said to be 120dB maximum dynamic range as compared to 144 for LPCM) and the fact that large amounts of noise are shifted to the frequency region above the audio bandwidth. Neither argument seems to have any bearing on the current listening tests however.
