Remark: DSF audio file is a high-resolution audio file in DSD format.
Its sound content is based on:
Sample rates are multiply to 44100 Hz:
There is sigma delta modulation used that allows achieving high signal/noise ratio in useful audio band. Read more about PCM vs. DSD.
Audio quality of all AuI ConverteR’s editions is identical. Digital signal processing is applied the same way. FREE edition is restricted in functionality.

There are audio formats that has advantages comparing FLAC. In instance, WAV supports higher sampling rates and bit depths.
If consider lossy formats, MQA provides audiophile sound quality and lesser file size.

We can compare DSD and MQA as DSD and PCM. MQA is high-qualitative lossy format. DSD is lossless audio. However, it should not be matter in general case.
Read about DSD and PCM comparison...
As rule, DSD output is set -6 dB for 0 dB PCM input. It's headroom to protect against broken stability of DSD modulator due to overload. Read more...
AuI ConverteR's DSD output allows -0.4 dB for 0 dB PCM input, as default. The software has own original protection method. It doesn't fully solve the stability issue, but add overload tolerance for AuI's modulator.
If an input signal has very significant spectrum energy and AuI's modulator stability is broken (noise, silence, tone at output), it's need to attenuate output signal manually or set auto normalizing target level lesser up to several dB.
