Unable to get 768kHz - 512 DSD with my new Dac SMSL M6 setup

I know there may be some technical issues with this. But do you really need that? There is no recording that's recorded at those formats.
 
Has anyone tried this new SMSL M6 DAC on MacOS?
What is the maximum DSD file that can be played (DSD 256 or DSD 512)?
 
Why, because of Mac USB 2 configuration?
You can't get DSD 512 on Sabaj D5 with your Mac?

I believe it’s because CoreAudio on Mac is very difficult to be bypassed, and therefore DSD on Mac has to be done in DoP. DSD512 in DoP I think needs more than 768kHz PCM, and is this not supported.

One would need 1536Khz PCM over the xmos controller. holo spring 2 can do it stably, not sure about others.

So no over default firmware that won't work.

Have you tried HQPlayer4?

No money for that... but I think in general DSD on Mac can be only done in DoP; also, there is no DSD512 recording anyway (existing DSD512 files are generated based on DSD256 recordings AFIK).
 
Why would anyone want to do this? Besides, DSD precludes the use of DSP functions for room EQ and subwoofer integration.
 
I finally menage dsd 512 ... On Music Bee, and Jriver it's played with out of problems on foobar lot of problems. In the end I install new ASIOProxyInstall-0.9.4 and menage to configure preference. Install instructions (picture)... but with XMOS_USBAudio_v4.41.0_2018-04_setup drivers and ASIOProxyInstall-0.9.4. and Super Audio CD Decoder 1.1.4.
