I will share a recent experience. Just mixed a 23 minute piece of music that is to be released on vinyl. It was recorded in Samplitude and mixed OTB through a Neotek series 1 to a Korg DSD recorder and my newly restored Ampex 351-2 1/4" running RMG 911 tape simultaneously. I gave the client the files labeled "mix A" and "mix B" without telling him which was which. They picked tape over DSD. It was my preference as well. The DSD sounded fantastic, there was just something special about the mix to tape.
It is hard to put into words what tape does to a mix. You just have to experience it. This was eye opening to me to be able to compare the 2 side by side.
