I seem to recall he said it was better to record under -3 to -6dB below full scale, otherwise DSD loses definition at the top end.
whether or not DSD behaves better at higher than 0dB FS is kind of a moot point, because the signal is illegal by Scarlett Book standards, and if you try to play it back on a DAC, the signal may clip anyway (because the Vref+ and Vref- is still set at fullscale, so the DAC is physically incapable of generating higher than fullscale voltages).
