Seems like if they had used high quality analog tape instead of DSD they would only be getting criticism for not calling it 'two-step'.
There are some amazing analogue mastering recorders like the Ampex ATR-102 which they could have used. Tape wear would have been an eventual issue if they had to re-press hundreds of times, but that's just what the vinyl nuts want right?
But on the other hand, they lied. Seems Jim Davis deserves every bit of criticism he gets. As do some of the golden-eared audiophile journalists who also happily oiled the BS machine.
