We have used a D250 as pre some time ago. At that time we still thought that large classical mono amps like KRELL or AVM might sound better. But the test failed. We did NOT like the SQ even though we tried different cabels, etc.
To me the one box design is part of the magic....
Besides, I believe that DSD is massively overrated. I recommend to read some thoughts writen down by the folks at GRIMM Audio who work for recording studios for ages.

You could have said it louder but not clearer! I agree, DSD is definitely overrated but I think the same goes for high res music in general. It's marketing, a war of numbers, the higher the better, or so is perceived.
The real magic for a technically proficient album lies, mainly, in the chain between the microphones and the sound engineer.
In my case, even though I've got over 300 high res albums, my favourites are, by far, rips of 16/44 quality.
BTW, thank you for the link, I'll have a look right now. Here's another one from Goldmund:
