To me the flasetto is developed to the point that one could think this is a women. My keen tenor ears hear some mixed voice here, ie mix of falsetto and chest. Daniels, himself, says he uses chest as little as possible.

This is more countertenor, though a very good countertenor.
Again, to me, this all is very developed falsetto. As a tenor i have mixed voice and full falsetto as far as in can sing in full voice, like c-d flat. The full falsetto has no dynamic range, the mixed voice does. Clearly Daniels has many dynamic levels. If you want to call this "not falsetto" thats OK, I sure cannot produce these tones !
