I'm developing an ALSA based audio application.

The DSD audio file under test is fs64 DSD format 2 channel.

The file plays well under ALSA using my native DSD frame packer. It plays well 
using my DSD to PCM decoder and frame packer.

It is not playing using my DOP frame packer.

I'm reasonably confident I have ALSA format set up correctly.....
- The ALSA format is set to S32_LE as the DAC supports this.
- The ALSA sample rate set in for FS64 which should be 176k

cat /proc/asound/DX1/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params during a play:

access: RW_INTERLEAVED
format: S32_LE
subformat: STD
channels: 2
rate: 176400 (176400/1)
period_size: 22050
buffer_size: 88200

The 32 bit frames written to snd_pcm_writei() are packed as per DOP 
specification, so the buffer looks like this:

MSB                    LSB
0x5  0xd3  0x2c 0x0 
0x5  0xd3  0x2c  0x0    
0xfa 0xd2  0xd2  0x0
0xfa 0xd2  0xd2  0x0
0x5  0xd2  0xd2  0x0
0x5  0xd2 0xd2  0x0

There are no overflow or ALSA play errors; however with play all I get is a 
high pitched note to start, and then noise. I'm stumped.

The DAC is a Topping DX1 which has an XMOS USB interface and an AK4493S chip. 
I've also tried my Accuphase DAC-60 with the same result.

Documentation on this seems sparse.

- How can test if ALSA / Linux is putting the DAC into DOP mode?
- How can I determine if the DAC or USB interface is supported by Debian 
(latest version) and controlling the DAC correctly?

Is there anything obvious I am missing here?

Thanks,
