I used both.
Only hope is someone with the Aune X8 or the D50s via USB confirming if it works or not.
Will try again. And again, and again...
Thanks for the info and for MTA, truly amazing!

I'm an old geezer and am essentially stone deaf above about 9-10 kHz so the chances of me hearing differences between PCM vs. DSD or, for that matter, between 16/44.1 and hi-rez, are pretty unlikely.DSD output is usually not or less filtered: in most cases there's only an IIR filter but not the FIR filter like with PCM.
The ringing, pre and post echo, is different and aliasing too.
At the end there's a subtle difference, depends on the DAC and on your personal preference.
You can try but if you are satisfied with the PCM output, hardly worth the effort and risks.
I configured it like this to see:
It's Ian's Canada display (controller),it's the only way to configure Khadas's tone1 parameters (volume,filters,DPLL bandwidth,etc).Doesn't seem that is playing DSD... I guess the sample rate should be like the screenshot below, not 705 kHz.
Looks like when it's not working for me.
How does it fit Ian's Canada? Transport for Coax? The Khadas is connected also to USB?
The device you have selected is Wasapi Exclusive, you could try with plain ASIO.
But ASIO+DVD should support DoP AFAIK, if the DAC does support it.
You probably did it but just in case; you also need to configure the SACD plugin with the option DoP for transport and DSD or PCM+DSD output.
The output is per device so default is only PCM.
It's strange that Ian's controller reports DSD256 though with the right clocking,it's suppose to be a diagnostic tool.

First pic is Khadas WASAPI excl.second is Khadas ASIO+DSD and in SACD config the options are PCM-DSD-PCM+DSD (I choose DSD in both outputs).
The only mention to DoP is for converter,same with the DSD processor,only gives the choice for DSD64-1024.
I don't use the transcoder,too buggy.ASIO+DSD plays trouble free as long as I use it.
I configured it like this to see:
The foo_input_sacd + foo dsd processor version only outputs in DoP mode.
wayback machineUnfortunately link to native DSD page is not available anymore.Choosing a DAC for DSD playback?
I’m giving you an actual, measured example where no audible high-frequency IMD exists in PCM or DSD case in the audible range I also shared Jussi's figures above, of lower IMD measured... in audible range.... at DSD512... I’m not sure why you feel the need to argue. Not arguing. Just a...www.audiosciencereview.com
These options uselessly load the processor. And they don't give dsd natif. It is enough to check this in the ASIO settings.
ps: It is a pity that there are not enough adjustments in foo dsd asio. Only SDM 5 are used. Add 7 and 8 which would give the best result.
These are the orders of the SDM filters. foo dsd asio only uses SDM 5. But higher ones exist.

ESS chip won't let you bypass the SDM.
Better use a AKM , Rohm or TI chip for HQPlayer.
Maxim Anisiutkin was kind enough to quickly release an interim version of the SACD plugin/DSD Processor to enable a flexible PCM to DSD conversion.
sweet jebus, why?
