I'm pretty sure it would be ... but I don't have the confirmation.

The link below leads to SFSO/MTT/Mahler recording notes that indicate some of the recordings were DSD, but nothing is mentioned in the No. 5 notes.

There must be some kind of tweaking done by the sound engineers for the San Francisco Symphony's performances recorded for CD, because at this moment I'm listening to that orchestra perform Shostakovich's Symphony No. 15 as captured live for broadcasting, and the sound is rather tinny and even somewhat unpleasant. If I had an equally poor impression of the sound emanating from their CDs, I'd have to consider that equivalent to an audio faux pas.

I would be surprised if the Mahler 5 was not DSD - why would they change horses in the middle of the stream? The recording setup was looked similiar to the others.

The reason why DSD was mentionned in the previous releases was not to inform about the recording process, but to give credit to the DSD engineer.

Maybe this time the recording engineers did the DSD recording themselves, and therefore DSD is not mentionned.
