So why is decimation used at all if sample rate conversion (SRC) with
integer multiples is always possible using two steps?
For example, one could take a PCM 96000 sample rate recording, and
multiply by 147 and then divide by 320 to get to a 44100 SR. Or
take a 192000 SR recording and multiply by 147 and then divide by 640.
I don't see how DSD provides any advantages over PCM for SRC if you
make the conversion in two steps, since the exact same SRC can also
be accomplished using PCM.
Naturally, a two-step SRC without decimation will require more time
and memory to compute - perhaps making it less suitable for
cost-effective real-time hardware implementation. But hardware is
getting faster and more inexpensive, so I'm not even sure that is a
limitation.
Is it the case that every non-real-time SRC (ie. DAW) is done in
two steps without decimation?
Again, I still don't see the advantage of DSD over PCM for SRC (I'm
not talking about word-length, only SRC).

It's a 2 step process. Multiply by 5 and divide by 294.
