No doubt that DSP IF radios with narrow upstream xtal filters should be everyone's first choice today for a do-everything high performance hf radio. The K3S is unbeatable. That being said, my forays into the world of direct sampling DDC/DUC radios suggest that their receivers may have an edge in simply sounding "better" - subjectively cleaner/less fatiguing with slightly more readability on very weak signals, compared to my K3 and Orion. The direct sampling radios have a long way to go to become all-around great radios, but my impression is that 5-10 years down the road, they will dominate (in a knobbed form).
