DSD uses the very high sampling rate, and short bit words. It's about the same as lower bit rate and longer words. Frankly noone proved advantages or disadvantages of any approach. Not that I really care. Most of the CDs I have are Red Book format.

Regarding our hearing threshold, I remember reading that it is in fact 18 bits rather than 20 bits. Probably we both agree that 24 bits resolution is a marketing gimmick and nothing else. Yet 16 bits are 16 bits. You can dither from 18 bits to 16 bits, that's true. But you can't somehow magically introduce 20 bits resolution into 16 bits format. (Well, may be I'm not entirely correct here. HDCD does something of that kind.)
