You get rid of the very steep brick wall filter at 22.1kHz which causes massive phase distortion. Same with 24/192. With DSD, distortion at hf is masked by upsampling noise and playback without a steep hf filter relies on a hf noise tolerant chain. With high sample rate pcm, the hf distortion products are not.
