One of the potential advantages of DSD is simplified D/A conversion that avoids use of a reconstruction filter as required by PCM. Thus it makes sense to try to avoid the conversion if possible.
The effect on the sound of the conversion from DSD to PCM and subsequent PCM D/A conversion is controversial in audiophile circles, but there are a lot of ways for the conversion to go wrong if not carefully implemented.
I don't see wanting to maintain a DSD signal throughout as "disdain for PCM conversion".
