I'm just working on that matter this days.

DFF does not support tags (or better, as is per was, you could attach
some Idv3 tag someway, but is obscure and not commonly supported), cue
files maybe could supports dff, I don't know, I should try...

DFF (native) playback is supported in LMS, DOP or converted to PCM via
DSDPLAY or Squeezelite is not so clear to me, but i suppose is not (I'll
have a try shortly).

Reason why I'm not so interested in DFF or others is that I'm going to
use SOX server side to transcode to dsf or pcm from any format,
eventually resampling, this way, for instance, dff is converted on the
fly to dsf (maybe it could be better the inverse, but too much work to
do on squeezelite).

DSD (dsf or dff) id always converted to DOP or PCM in squeezelite,
depending on DAC capabilities and settings, there is no 'native' suport
even in windows with ASIO. 

Daphile has some pathces that allows you to output DSD over PCM in
Linux, but using non DOP format, more like as ASIO does in windows
(https://github.com/lintweaker/xmos-native-dsd). I'm testing those
patches over "standard" squeezelite to be used with LMS, then I'll try
to allow 'native' palyback with AISO drivers at least in Windows.

The benefit of 'natives' formats over PCM is reduced size (and band) by
at least 33% (dop is 8 bit marker 16 bit data, 'natives' are no marker
and up to 32 bit data).
