I use HQPlayer4 all the time in DSD output mode. And SMSL Sanscrit never had problems, they also use chip AK4493I first encountered while using JRiver MP 28 and then with HQPlayer4.

Those were sarcastic words, read the whole messages and that part of the thread to understand the context completely.These are your words too
I also work as an electronic engineer. It's not that I say that it shouldn't be done, but DSD users represent a very small portion of the total ones and the initial proposal from DSD was to grow from 44.1 kHz audio.ShinMolina
My English is not that strong for sarcasm. But I also work with electronics and I know that this problem is not worth a damn.
Half an hour of programmer's work
Upsampling does nothing good. When something can be supported it doesn't mean it needs to be supported.
All right, I agree, but I have a lot of music in multiples of 48 kHz!and the initial proposal from DSD was to grow from 44.1 kHz audio.
If that is what you like then their technical expert has made it clear that they are not going to do anything about it.All right, I agree, but I have a lot of music in multiples of 48 kHz!
I made my choice and now use software digital filters and SD modulators.
If Topping is unable to fix such elementary glitches, and their technical expert starts teaching me how to listen to music ..... No comment
I would assume you upsample to actual DSD256 that's 44.1khz based.I don't get it. I am upscaling everything including 48/96khz with Roon to native DSD256. Never had a problem. Done with two different E30 versions. What am I missing here?
Are you really a technical expert? .......or even calling it DSD wouldn't be correct in the first place.
Go read this standard ISO/IEC 14496-3.Are you really a technical expert? ...

Roon makes the conversion PCM48 to DSD with a change in the base frequency from 48 to 44.1kHz. This is not very good for sound, especially for spatial information. HQPlayer4 does it right and great, but there must be DAC support.I don't get it. I am upscaling everything including 48/96khz with Roon to native DSD256. Never had a problem. Done with two different E30 versions. What am I missing here?
How old were you when this standard appeared? Are you suggesting that I live in that time?Go read this standard ISO/IEC 14496-3.
Or you can refer me to a published DSD music that's 48khz based. Then I will support it.How old were you when this standard appeared? Are you suggesting that I live in that time?
You look like a moody child now...Or you can refer me to a published DSD music that's 48khz based. Then I will support it.
It's the exactly the attitude of everyone that ask for 48khz based dsd to be supported drove me away from supporting it. Like you said 30 minute work. Make it work yourself.
Bye.You look like a moody child now...
The Akashi Kasei engineers were great and were looking to the future. And I will probably buy a DIY board with AK4493 and make custom firmware for the controller. I don't even need a PСM path in a microcircuit, only a bypass on SCF filter.
And Topping successful sales... Bye stubborn..
I will also add that this improves the sound space, the near and back fields, and the localization of the instruments.Does it make a difference to the 48khz problem if I upscale to DSD in Roon using "DoP" instead of "native"? I am a firm believer that the upscale to DSD does have certain benefits over PCM, merely sounding less "harsh" in the highs and giving the overall tone a little more plasticity. It's like an anti-aliasing filter for your ears basically.
Of course one can not underestimate the importance of "revealing" gear.Of course, to hear this, it is important to have high-level audio components.
