Just to point out that the album that you are using for comparison was not originally recorded in either 24/192 or DSD. Therefore both versions are upsampled. Upsampling involves the use of algorithms, some of which are more succesful than others. So there is another variable to add to your list.If you want to judge DSD v. PCM I would suggest that you start by finding and comparing material in "native" format building up a general picture over many different recordngs in both media.
Of course as Abe points out, whatever the medium it is always trumped by how good the recording was in the first place.
Yes my DAC does DSD both by DoP and from SACD. As I currently don't have any duplicate recordings in both formats I cannot make a direct comparison. However my overall impression is that DoP may sound slighly superior. However there are yet more variables involved in my system as DSD from SACD is delivered via AES/EBU and DoP via SP/dif.
Meantime I have written before on this forum that I don't like upsampled DSD in my particular setup i.e. where my equipment is doing the upsampling. This should not be confused with my opinion on DSD per se.
