I'm all for recording quality, which is why I have PCM transcodes of DSD albums sitting on my X5iii. But what transducer is going to give you anything meaningful above a 96 kHz signal?
An HD 800 S (or insert any other flagship here) extends up to 51 kHz. So the 96 kHz signal is leaving you sans 48-51 kHz. You probably have a tail if you can hear what's happening at that point.
Complaints about anything happening above this range is foolish.
Bold statement. OK, I am fool, but with good equipment and hearing. No tail, sorry

I can bet, you can't hear anything above 20kHz. So, according your logic, you are not in need for 800S - only half it is enough?

Edit. Why you are transcoding DSD to PCM? Of course, all up to you. Then go further - transcode DSD to mp3.
