Sorry if I wasn't clear either. When I wrote "DSD (dsf) can be [...]
repackaged (not converted - the contents of the bits stay the same) into
DoP and played on a DSD-capable DAC.", that was precisely what I was
talking about. To me "convert" means actually changing the audio data.
All DoP does is encapsulation/repackaging.

So you just want the encapsulation to happen automatically and in real
time?
