Definitely not lossless, but will the loss be audible? We all remember
the 'AES paper'
(http://old.hfm-detmold.de/eti/projekte/diplomarbeiten/dsdvspcm/aes_paper_6086.pdf)
that concluded that "...No significant differences could be heard
between DSD and high-resolution PCM even with the best equipment, under
optimal listening conditions, and with test subjects who had varied
listening experience and various ways of focusing on what they hear."

So I'd be more than happy to either have the server transcode DSD to PCM
on the fly, or batch convert DSD tracks to PCM. No need to complicate
the player side of things unnecessarily.
