It reduces the slip that occurs on the wheel with less grip by transferring more drive power to the other wheels using a blocking effect. This converts engine power into forward momentum as effectively as possible so as to be able to accelerate out of a bend even more dynamically, for instance."

Ah okay. I saw this and I assumed it would be very similar
Without LSD: 1 wheels slips then DSC gets activated.
With LSD: 1 Wheel starts to slip, other wheel grips, both wheels slip then DSC gets activated.
I added an LSD in my GLI and every body was curious about traction control.
Now traction control gets activated after both wheels brake loose.
LSD increases traction, improves handling, increases stability and causes DSC to cut-in later when also fitted. Guess the delayed cut-in of DSC is because the LSD is preventing the traction slip in the first place.
Thus it appears both LSD and DSC do work together ok.
But yes, to fully have the benefits of the LSD, everything must be turned off
