However, like some have reported, DP2M is "too sharp" for portrait, for my experience, I suspect Sigma's X3F file is not a true RAW file, rather it has preset software sharpness into in when you set sharpness level at 0.
The X3F file is as RAW as they get. It's all about the defaults in Sigma Photo Pro, which appears to apply a bit of sharpening at level 0. You can compare with other software that supports X3F or even with SPP itself when used in B&W mode or when you select half size output file (in both cases the sharpness is more neutral).
Note that at low ISO and especially for portraits, you want to reduce Chroma NR to the lowest level. Its side effects add to the feeling of over-sharpening.
This Shinzo Fukui aka ex-Art Director of SIGMA's blog has a good example of how NR works in the portrait. http://shinzlogclips.blogspot.com/2013/01/photo-pro.html
It's all in Japanese, but he shows the setting of SPP on the sample, so it helps a lot to understand the SPP.
