Reply to comment by Titouan_Charles in Why do DSD files sound better than flac? by Dani3L_1917

That makes sense. But that would mean the studio would master the record a second time but better for dsd. If so why not just use the better master for everything instead of using different mastering for the different file. Would save time and money and result in a better end product

Because "better mastering" doesn't equal "sound that you like better".

Much of DSD was recorded for archival purposes, the idea being that new formats could be derived from the DSD master.
