The DSD files downloaded are the same exact files as the Edit Master.
The only differences you are hearing come from the DAC or player.

Bruce,
? I think you are responding to a different post. I already made the exact same comment earlier down below about edit masters (it's all about the player vs DAC). In this post I was commenting on how much I like Jared's session tapes before they get channel rebalanced, edited in DXD, etc..not anything you did. The mch channel balances may be different, etc. There are a host of things. I like the raw "demos". They are not the edit masters, Bruce. I know what the process is...I am part of it.

The one example I heard, I agree with you. The original session tapes had better sound, but all things considered, the released version had better musical balance and I preferred it. Also, it's been my experience that it is generally not a wise move to argue with singers regarding the level their contribution appears in the final mix. :-)
Part of the problem is that the extra stage of production necessarily damages the purity of the signal path. With DSD at the very least it will include an extra stage of delta-sigma modulation, a.k.a. noise shaping. Even in PCM which has better generation properties than DSD, there can be problems when format conversions add multiple stages of noise-shaping, even though it only affects low order bits.
