I'm betting you've never used a Radial JDI then. It is the exception to nearly every negative charcterization about passive direct boxes ever made.
That being said, it
does have a slightly more rolled-off treble response than the Radial active DI's I've used (the JDV...never tried the J48), but in my experience that still tends to manifest itself as clear, warm, euphonic high end...just without as much "tizzle" on top.
