Usually, it can be difficult to visualize the difference in sensor measurements just by researching specifications. The photograph here will give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the 20Da and 5DS.

To sum up, both of those cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 20Da due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh more difficult and the Canon 5DS will provide you with greater detail due to its extra 43MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older 20Da will be behind in sensor innovation.
