Yes, for these reasons I have moved whatever DIFF I had (maybe 40 albums or so, not much) to DSF. I have discussed this on forums ad nauseum. I wish download sites like Channel Classics would use DSF; Cookie's Blue Coast does.

And even outside of MC, DSF files (and their ID3 tags) carry metadata to MAC (Audirvana plus, etc) and Linux MPD (clients like mPAd, Gnome, etc). Heck, I began as an MC user simply for DSF tagging.
