DSD (dsf) can be converted to pcm and played on a PCM-only player/DAC, or it can be repackaged (not converted - the contents of the bits stay the same) into DoP and played on a DSD-capable DAC. > Bit it would be good if touch can.learn how to play dsd files directly. There is no defined network streaming format for DSD. DoP is a way to encapsulate the DSD data (without changing the audio contents) for transport over non-DSD-aware channels, but the actual audio data stays DSD. > As far as i know dsd file format is quite simple to play. No, not really. The fallacy comes from the fact that it is possible to do a primitive DSD-to-analog conversion using just a driver stage and a low-pass filter, but that doesn't make it any easier to play it properly. Most DACs these days are multi-bit delta-sigma, requiring conversion for both PCM and 1-bit DSD. For pretty much any sort of processing, DSD has to be converted to PCM and possibly back again.
