That's because there's no lossless conversion between the two formats. By doing this they are guaranteeing loss of fidelity.
I agree that it's mostly marketing hype. But as with all things more exposure to DSD means more user adoption, more content and more attention by all brands.
So I say bring it on and keep it coming!
