It is state of the art DSD that MoFi uses in their process.
The adoption of the lesser Fi format, which in general can achieve great reproduced sound when the mastering engineers know what they are doing, do it the best they can, and the end to end process includes the best efforts, care and skills of all those involved, had DSD been the format of choice there would have been very little reason to complain about the sound reproduced using that technology. It really is that good.
