That said, were people voting for what they were nostalgic about, or, do wide-format very fast analog tape and record/playback electronics have some fundamentally euphonic character?
Recording is an art as well as a science. In theory, a recording of a piano made in an anechoic chamber would be more "accurate" than a recording made in a recital hall. But that is not how we experience music.
Once I choose microphones and where to place them, I have eliminated many other valid options.
DSD sounds great but it is still almost impossible to hear it as "all pure DSD" unless you own a professional workstation and listen only to raw recordings. Adjust the level by one dB, and it is no longer pure DSD, it has been handled as PCM. Most consumer DSD playback is via PCM, that's why they call it "DoP."
