DSD is very wasteful of bits - gotta account for that ultrasonic noise somewhere!

You gonna spring for an Exasound MC Dac?!
I've read that higher rate DSD pushes U.S. Noise way higher,
where it's even less of a (non) problem.
Who knows? Maybe that ultrasonic noise (even pushed up in frequency) is a factor in giving DSD its (artificial?) smoothness, which some people like and others don't. I do agree that it's subtle, whether you like it or not. Nevertheless, more bits is not necessarily an advantage if you're wasting some of them, or if some of them are used for "overhead".
Re the Exasound DAC, it's a possibility for me, but I haven't heard it as of yet.
