"Even given your earlier scenario of a dedicated DAC for DSD (and another for PCM), you would still have to find a way of getting the DSD data to the DAC from the player and the primary contender would be DoP. As far as I am aware the only alternative would be HDMI which, aside from its own non-ideal aspects, would involve packing the DSD data in accordance with the HDMI protocol as apposed to that of DoP."Another, imho, more straightforward option is USB.

Yes, USB is an alternative. However this thread is in the context of the choice of Sony in implementing their DSD input using DoP protocol.
Of course virtually all DSD DACs will accept DoP via a USB input. However the number accepting raw or native DSD via USB is comparitively limited. Checking it appears that there are currently around 420 DSD DACs available * (a large number that surprised me). However of these only around 80 models will accept raw or native DSD data via USB (all in addition to DoP via USB).
My argument is that Sony selected DoP as a commercial necessity given that they have no control over what DAC their player will be connected to. I think that these figures strongly support my view.

I am not arguing. Just saying.
