what exactly is the difference between a dsgand regular automatic?

AFAIK DSG is pretty much like a manual without the clutch pedal, it has a double clutch setup for fast shifts and no torque convertor. Where as a conventional automatic has a torque convertor and is a single clutch setup so its not as fast.

The DSG is a dual clutch gearbox that allows for very fast shifts compared to a normal automatic (or even a manual).
