Thank you!

--------------------
I substituted default:CARD=HIFIRef with hw:CARD=HIFIRef,DEV=0 and
restarted squeezelite
Result:
Working for -D : DoP
Working for -D : u32be
both up to DSD 256 (5644k). I thought the DAC also supported DSD512
(native mode only) but so far getting silence for the 512 test track.
DSD 512 is in any case of only academic interest.
Thanks again!
