Oppo Blu-Ray DSD Direct mode

Can anyone explain to me in simple terms why the Oppo operating in DSD Direct mode to a compatible receiver would sound better than the Oppo analog outs? Wouldn't the task of D/A conversion just be passed on to the receiver instead of the Oppo D/A conversion? Thanks. Confused.

It has a volume control for the analog outputs but it is a far from ideal arrangement. External VC is better.

Sure. But which D/A is better?

In addition, can the Oppo output DSD with appropriate channel/bass management or does it convert to PCM to do this?

Finally, is the channel/bass management more capable/preferable in the Oppo? (IMHO, generally not.)
