Larger working space than adobe rgb - for not loosing colors our often very expensive sensors provide us

In this post, the following was said (extract edited for clarity)

If the input image is a RAW image…the raw input colors are…in the native color space of the sensor of your camera. In that case, PhotoLab converts the sensor colors to AdobeRGB and uses that as working color space. This cannot be configured.

If the input image is an RGB image, depending on the color space you selected in your camera…colors are in fact either sRGB or AdobeRGB. In that case, PhotoLab uses this color space as working color space. And again, this cannot be configured…

The question remains: How does DxO convert the native colour space to AdobeRGB?

  1. "cut corners* on import and then work with the remaining colours?
  2. leave corners as they are and convert on the fly, using
    a) absolute colorimetric?
    b) relative colorimetric?
    c) any other method?

Earlier posts mentioned that PhotoLab was working without cutting corners, with a seemingly unlimited space.

@wolf, can you comment again and in more detail?
