i think dsg and dct are both dual clutch gearboxes, smg was the e46m3 gearbox.
The reason the dual clutches are so fast and smooth is because they preselect the next gear on the opposite clutch (or something equivalent) and just switch seamlessly. Things aren't so fast when you go two gears up or down (same clutch). Trust me, though...dsg on audi will go from 6-3 with 3 tugs on the paddle quite quickly. I used to purposely lift the throttle on upshifts just so I could feel the engine pull between gears, otherwise it was just seamless power delivery. As good as any automatic, better than my experience with smg (just a couple of days).
I don't know why i am so vocal on this, maybe i am just excited because i actually have some experience on something on this forum.!!
