For those who still don't believe that DSD Dacs sound soft, here's some more evidence from John Atkinson comparing the PS Audio DAC to the MBL N31 Noble DAC:
"I first compared the N31 with the PS Audio PerfectWave DirectStream D/A converter ($6899 with Bridge II network adapter card), which I bought following the publication of Art Dudley's review, in 2014. The DirectStream DAC perhaps sacrifices ultimate resolution in favor of a "comfortable" sound. Compared with the PS Audio, and even after compensating for the PerfectWave's 3.3dB lower level, with the N31 the MBL had a sense of greater drive and impact, especially in the bass. (To make sure the playing field was level, all comparisons were performed with the NHT PVC used to match levels at 1kHz.) Not only was the MBL DAC rather more resolving of recorded detail, there was a feeling of drive in its low frequencies with Bob Silverman's Rachmaninoff recording that made the PS Audio sound too soft."
By the way, not arguing with anyone's taste - just drawing a contrast for those who never accepted the "DSD is best" preaching, and want to choose the best DAC for their taste...
