#108 If foo_out_asio already outputs native dsd, what is the purpose of foo_out_asio+dsd?

foo_out_info does not see DSD signal at all because sacd_input somehow bypassess foobars audio-chain. So your DAC receives 2,8M but foo_out sees "fake" PCM signal.

This just made me more confused. When playing a DSD file in native DSD output mode, the DAC's USB driver claims 2822400 Hz samplerate but the "foo_outinfo" component claims 176400 Hz with %output_samplerate%.

Which is correct?

Take a look - maybe it can help.

#105 option DSD+PCM is suppressed

Perfect. Work perfectly... Ty so much :)

In 2.0.18 this volume adjust is back. Will not work while replaygain info is set.

From version 2.0 coding a dsd file to flac are always 0dB (less volume than the original because Sigma Delta decimation have a lot of attenuation, of -6d).
Band deafult sample rate equal to display in sacd windows (grey if dsd mode is selected).
If DOP selected, volume correction is passed but sample rate is always 176400 (i don't understand where is set this rate???).
I revert to 1.6.5 where with dsd+pcm option all work perfect for me, because use a lot dsd to flac conversion for a separate portable library. I hope have more control in newest version. TY, Rudy

Try looking in DACs drivers. My drivers show if the DAC receives DoP or Native. The DACs display only shows DSD.

Thank you.

DAC usually doesn't display in which form it receives DSD stream (it can be Native DSD or it can be DoP). It just says 'DSD' or 'PCM'.

After you select 'DSD' in plugin settings foo_input_sacd will output DSD stream in DoP format. Then foo_out_asio+dsd will convert DoP to Native DSD if downstream ASIO driver (your DAC driver) supports Native DSD.

This might look a bit complicated, but there're no other better ways to output DSD in foobar.

I'm really confused, now. All this time using foo_out_asio, my DAC indicated that it was receiving native DSD but it wasn't?

Anyway, now that I'm using foo_out_asio+dsd - can you please specify what is needed to output native DSD to the DAC? Should this option in the attached image be enough or are there more settings I need to change? Do I need to install DSD Transcoder as well?
