Well I just stumbled across something I haven’t seen before: a Qobuz album (via Roon or LMS squeezelite) where each track states "DSD Mastering". I am not saying it is better or worse, I don’t have a clue, but just pointing out it is the first time I have seen it. I have seen other descriptions in brackets, like "album version" or "digitally remastered" Maybe more will be processed this way? Maybe many have but they just didn’t specify that in the brackets? Maybe they are just adding this information to make some feel better? Unlike many albums I don’t see another version option for this one so can’t compare its sound quality to another.
They are 16/44 files, so someone will go and DSD remaster it but not convert it to a hi-res file? Sounds decent enough regardless.
