There is a "5x oversampling" node in the diagram..... The base DSD rate needs to be 5x oversampled to attain synchronous conversion to the DAT formats (I also notice 24/192 is not in the diagram either, which would require "10x oversampling"). So the base rate of DSD is *not* really a "common multiple" of all format rates, like I erroneously stated earlier..... Sorry about that.....
I presumed it was running without a need for an intermediate "oversample" conversion at an odd integer rate.
I think DSD would be the best "single-unit solution" for those who want a system for playing SACD, DVDA, and CD. But for those solely into CD, there are too many conversions (albeit synchronous) relative to the CD-dedicated oversampling and non-OS which can provide satisfying playback.
