I think you may be confused. The higher the DSD rate is the higher the noises, but they are pushed up further the upper spectrum by aliasing and hence antialiasing have to be more aggressive, the same as filtering. Some people like to enjoy higher DSD rate, which I was into. But it isn’t...- Whitigir

Yes! And honestly, PB5 has the slight warmth that I had to tackle with modification. Not much, but still something. You gotta try it first though. IMO, the D16 is the one that is most valuable.
