You did say you switched off the "DSEE" engine,right ? That engine will most likely degrade the sound of our "Big Boy" uncompressed music files.
The thing you have to consider is that DSD & PCM handle transients (where one note stops & another starts & the associated intensity of these notes)
differently.I think DSD has a greater scale of these microdynamic shadings.It may not be as much that the sound is a bit "mushy" as much as PCM has no choice of how it presents the sound.(so everything may appear to be more immediate
As I don't think A/B comparisons do much more than confuse our "Aural Memory" a bit more because we're much more familiar with how the non-DSD
Remastered files sound. I think it makes more sense to listen to whole "blocks" of the same music to see if that works any better.
Yes, only you can decide which musical presentation works better for you
