Nope it is no joke - 8 bit PCM, with 4 times oversampling (i.e. 176.4/192kHz) and correct noiseshaping will provide better objective audio parameters than DSD with half of required bitrate - this is scientific fact... Not sure what are You talking but in CD Audio (44.1kHz 16bit) you may have 144dB dynamics with correct noise shaping in reference to human auditory system but frequency range is limited to approx 22kHz and some people complain on this. That's why higher sampling rates systems was created even is majority of population don't perceive difference between 44.1 and 48kHz. Difference between DSD and PCM is simple - DSD use one bit and very aggressive noiseshaping and 64 times oversampling, PCM use between 16 and 24 bits and between NOS - 4 time oversampling. Noiseshaping is optional and in case of 192kHz 24b it can probably provide more than 250dB SNR from human auditory perspective. Noiseshaping is key to understand DSD and PCM and it is applicable to both systems. As i can imagine simple linear processing natively in DSD domain then anything more complex in unavoidable way need to be done in PCM domain and reality of DSD recording is that most of them are created from PCM sources. Not sure what is more close to analog signal series of 1 and 0 or values in range +-32767 - however i can't imagine any natural sound produced as series (even fast repeated) of 0 and 1 (or rather -1, +1). Absolute silence is coded in PCM as 0, there is no such thing as absolute silence in DSD and if there will be something like silence in DSD then it will look like 0101010101010101010101010101010101010101 or rather -1+1-1+1-1+1-1+1-1+1-1+1-1+1-1+1-1+1-1+1-1+1 tell me which one of methods is more close to analog sound.

In the last couple of days I looked into SACD playback directly from the original disc(s) on PC and so far, I believe, it seem to be still not possible at all, right ?
There is a Youtube video where someone opens a disc but it must have been ripped and burned content. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUe244YF1Ig |

People interested in backing-up their SACD collections might find this topic helpful: https://www.computeraudiophile.com/f...-yes-its-true/
Although the topic is very long there are details of a few makes and models of SACD players to look out for
