This provenance from NativeDSD for one of their Teleman's should help to explain things; it's imperative you check provenance before purchasing a bitstream album.
This Telemann recording was processed from the original DXD edited master individually to all three DSD bit rates plus the DXD flac, for both stereo and multichannel. The advantage of processing with this method is the elimination of two conversion steps, providing music reproduction closer to the original analog source than previously available.
This process takes advantage of the fact that while virtually all acoustic music labels post process in DXD, they don't actually output a DXD file. They mix down/process in DXD, but output and archive in DSD, usually DSD64. For these labels to offer DSD128 and DSD256, they then convert their DSD64 edited masters to the higher DSD bit rates. Our DXDdirectDSD process skips those unnecessary and to some degree destructive conversion steps by going directly from the DXD processed source individually to the DSD bit rates directly.
