I have some outstanding SACDs so I see nothing wrong with whatever they are doing
I believe that is often the case especially if you want to do time alignment. I believe Sony and maybe a few others have chipsets that can operate directly on the DSD stream. You are correct though as often times the DSD is converted to PCM for BM and TA in most (all?) Pre/Pros/receivers and in a lot of the players.
