I am a software developer. I took some audio physics classes in college. I am under the impression that DSP is better, provided the audio path is unconstrained by DSP capabilities. I guess a 24 bit / 192Hz DSP path is future proof enough.Most around here would say DSP is better. Look at all the interest in DSP powered speakers like Genelec. Just because I don't completely understand what you are thinking doesn't make you wrong. You could be on to something.
For example, I don't know if MQA processing slows it down. I only came across a few MQA files that relate to my tastes, so MQA seems irrelevant today. I might change my mind in the future, if persuaded otherwise. I really don't know.
I really don't know enough about the constraints to render an intelligent opinion. I am trying to understand the logical impact of DSP functions, before the physical constraints. That's why I start from the rhythm/melody/harmony layer, before the measurement layer.
My approach is breakdown the processing into layers. Understand one layer, then add the next layer of complexity. Keep the layers separate. Otherwise, sound is a complicated spaghetti bowl that keeps me chasing my tail.
