Bob Ludwig gathered colleagues to do a comparison test of live mic feed versus encode/decode




THE RESULTS:

1. DSD sounded closest to the live mic feed.

2. HOWEVER, everyone preferred the sound after it was bounced to one-inch analog tape and then lifted off for playback....

Bob's staff managed the test; the panel members did not know what they were listening to, but it was not formally double-blinded.

That is the most rigorous and definitive answer I am aware of, and I read the pro magazines all the time and talk with engineers from all over the world.
