RE: DSD means One bit.

DSD is generated by a sigma delta modulator (a.k.a. a delta sigma modulator). These do not output differences between "samples". These output a string of samples, one at each clock tick. The samples are made from the output of an integrator. The integrator is fed with the difference of two analog signals, the input waveform and the output of the previous sample. This is a complex process with non-linear feedback. It is not a simple difference between input samples. (That also exists, but is called "delta modulation" as opposed to "sigma delta modulation".)
