The equipment is supposed to make no sound at all. The fact that he said the analogue equipment makes the most pleasing sound to him implies to me the analogue equipment is modifying the sound (without being setup to do so, obviously there are effects one can select).
But what we're discussing here is going back and forth between DSD and analogue potentially dozens of times, and then you have to worry about minor losses each time adding up to something you can hear.
Where are you getting "dozens of times?" I don't think you understand the workflow. The multitracks are digitized using high-quality ADCs, played back through high-quality DACs into the analog console and mixed, then the summed mix—whether two-channel or six-channel—is recaptured by a high-quality DAC. Three conversions. Nothing of significance is lost.
You don't know that's what he's doing.
In the general case we have just reason to question and criticise industry "professionals" given how many awful brick walled releases are produced. Many of them are only "professionals" in the strict sense that they get paid for doing it.
Neither do you. What process would require dozens of conversions?

I’d always read that it was a December photo shoot. As for the captions, it wouldn’t be a proper Floyd release without glaringly bad cockup’s. Proof read… nah why do that?
It was early December, it even got on the BBC TV News if my memory serves me correctly.
This article says the pig came loose on Dec 3, 1976. So, if true, that supports bad fact checking on whoever created the notes. Maybe they should have written a song about it "When The Pig Broke Free".
Wow, that's cool.
Quite some time. It was made a listed building in the early 1980s before it closed as a power station. If that hadn't been done it would almost certainly have been demolished as much cheaper than repurposing it. The way they paid for this is to build a lot of expensive apartments around it. Unfortunately they are tall enough they block the view of the power station from all angles except the waterfront. There is considerable controversy about that.
€51.99 is pretty expensive for a disc with less contents than the Blu Ray. And Europe realistically means EU Single Market, because the shipping then VAT and import duty to the UK would add a fair bit to that price. And the way the duties work it's on the total cost, so we pay VAT and import duty on the shipping costs even though we haven't imported those. It could end up at £100 to get one of these in your hands in the UK.
