Just listened to Beck's "Sea Change" in DSD.  I have heard this album probably more than any other.  I own it in every format.
CD<192/24<LP<SACD, the DSD is noticeably better than any other.
 
There were sounds emanating 3 feet from outside my head. Scared me at one point

  Instrument separation was almost too good as you could track a single instrument and loose some of the feel of the song as a whole. But, I'll adjust

If you are a fan of this album and have the equipment to decipher it, I highly recommend you download it. 
 
Can't wait until it's available in MQA

X-5II > Mojo > Edition 8 HP's.  It is 1/10 the price of my main (non headphone) rig and with this album it embarrassed my high priced system (Which can not do DSD)

Soudgarden's "Super Unknown" DSD sounds better to me as well.  I am not intimately familiar with this but I own it in 192/24 and CD and the spoons in spoon man actually sound like spoons
