I'll be the first to day that I am not 100% sure of this, but what I was
reading is that older versions of ACR can read and open the DNG file but
only version 9.5.1 (PS version - LR numbers differ) and higher actually
combine and average the separate exposures in the K-1 raw files. ACR
9.1.1 was the first to be able to combine the multiple exposures in the
K-3 ii files.
I did this test: Shot the same subject with and without pixel shift
using RAW + JPG. I pulled everything into PS without adjustment. Loaded
the files as layers so I could easily compare them - e.g. pixel shift
RAW exposure on bottom, regular raw exposure on top. Hide and unhide the
top image to immediately see the differences. I also processed the pixel
shifted raw file in SIlkyPix.
What I found was that I could see no difference between the pixel shift
raw file opened in ACR 9.1.1 and the regular raw file. But, the pixel
shift JPG and the SIlkypix converted image did have a greater degree of
detail.
To try to make it objective, I had Photoshop stack the pixel shifted raw
file with the JPG version of the same image and, separately with the
Silky Pix converted version. I figured that PS would preserve the image
that had the most detail and discard the one that did not. In both cases
PS discarded almost all of the ACR converted pixel shift file and kept
the other.
So it seems to me that the version of ACR I'm using is not creating the
detail that is in the pixel shift image, which I can see in the
in-camera JPG and in the SIlky Pix converted file. But I don't have
access the version that supposedly works to test it.

I'm using LR v3.6, importing the gigantic DNG raw files from pixel
