Having a 4 box dCS player I can convert from PCM to DSD easily. Frankly I don't really like the DSD conversions as much as PCM/PCM conversions (44.1Ks/s to 176.4 Ks/s) irrespective of which digital filter I choose. Both sound very good but the DSD conversion is slightly less, well, convincing for want of a better word. One hears more space and the sound is smoother but there is a loss of solidity and I sometimes find rhythm becomes less pronounced(especially on rock music).
Of course in the dCS setup the DSD conversion uses a different cable interface (from the sample converter: AES/EBU for PCM and firewire for DSD). This does make the comparison less secure. dCS are changing the interface soon so that the firewire link becomes redundant. It will be interesting to see if my opinion changes when everything will pass along the same set of cables.
