I think we have all come across poor sounding CD transfers/mastering/recordings from the 80s and 90s. Then of course the loudness wars have further ruined many CDs in the noughties. However, I do not find that DSD is any better than PCM as a format. For recordings I make in high resolution formats, I can certainly pick them as "better" than the Redbook down conversion, but I don't hear huge differences and certainly don't get pain in my ears!
"Turning up something soft can make the loud passages unlistenable for me."
This could well be due to dithering and noise-shaping artefacts. The dither amplitude and noise-shaping assume a certain listening level to be "transparent". On classical recordings of solo piano, I have heard nasty aftefacts when turning up the volume. For my own recordings and carefully choosing the dither and noise-shaping algorithms, I don't have this problem when down-converting to Redbook.
