Should I purchase a new DAC that decodes DSD?

I ripped all my SACD's to ISO using a 10+ year old cheap SONY Blu-Ray player. The ISO files can be played back with KODI with its SACD ISO add-on.

However, if you want better tagging than what's on the SACD disc, you need to extract each track to DSD (usually Phillips DSDIFF mode) and tag each file with a tool like Mp3Tag or similar.. KODI can of course play back DSD files.

My playback chain is not exactly pure DSD....

DSD -> PCM 192/24 (KODI) -> HDMI - > Preamp/DAC (Anthem AVM70) -> AD/DA (MiniDSP Flex) -> Amps -> Speakers
Thank you very much. How ever, too much complicated for me…!
