How to tell if a CD is Encoded?

Important to note that a lot of SACD's aren't just re-issues, they are completely remastered. Listen to the one that sounds best to you, but we can't judge the relative encoding merits with those. 

All SACDs are DSD

some CDs are based off analog tapes that have been remastered in DSD

some DSD recordings can be purchased as CDs

we seem to be confusing the recording and mastering (which is interesting) with the final media (which is the relevant point of your question)

as far as commercial silver discs go its red book pcm or 128 DSD that's it! Standards are standards

@geoffkait - even the vinyl LP versions of those Stones records are pretty well regarded. DSD vinyl. Dude.
@folkfreak - as an afterthought, this goes to your point about the mastering v the final medium.

To which I’d add that you can also change how you listen to the final medium.  For example I listen to my red book upsampled to dual DSD, sounds better that way to me in my system

so to the OPs follow on question about ladder vs delta dig DACs, it depends 🤪

If a disc says "Remastered in DSD", doesn't that mean the contents of the disc are encoded in DSD?  If not, we really need to establish a lexicon.

@folkfreak -- you said you "listen to my red book upsampled to dual DSD" -- I don't understand.  If a disc is encoded as Redbook (16/44.1), that means a 16 bit sample of the analog waveform was taken 44,100 times a second.  How can you get better sound out of that track by upsampling -- aren't you limited to the resolution of what's on the disc?
