Funny I was just outlining to a friend what I thought would be an incredible recording environment (since we are planning some recordings soon through my Neve portico II channel strip into a RME ufx interface)
The ultimate would be mult track DSD recording played back out to an all analog board and outboard gear, mixed with flying fader automated and back to DSD. While not allowing edits, punch Ins could be done to alternate tracks and the automation would switch from the bad part of the take to the punch in track and then back to original track.
DSD essentially being like a Multi track analog 30ips machine with out all the maintenance, huge cost of tape and high frequency loss and the tapes are played back many times.
However this requires actual musicianship, something that seems to be lacking in theses days of Protools, quantization and pitch correction.
