The easiest is probably to use Roon.is there a mode that can be set with the RME where it will automatically convert my dsf files to any other lower rez format (say 192k) automatically and therefore avoid the loss of tone and volume controls? t prefer to not have to convert more than 3000 files for a new preamp.
I cant find this in the manual but maybe i missed it
It will stream DSD, either in DSD format or convert it to PCM on the fly, I think.
