Yes. If I set the DSD output to PCM 176400, my DAC then displays 8ch 176.4kHz and I get sound through all applicable channels. I don't think there's a issue with my DAC, as I mentioned above, I set up HQPlayer as a test, specifiying DOP for DSD and it plays multichannel content as DSD..

When I play 2 channel DSD source material, it works. The DAC displays 2.82MHz and the “ Audio Midi Format is “2 ch 32-bit integer 176.4” so my DAC is receiving DoP and playing DSD. When I set the Audio Midi Format on the Mac to “8 ch 32-bit integer 176kHz” and I play multichannel DSD, the bitrate on the DAC displays, 176.4kHz and all I get is hissing so I agree that it’s not receiving the multichannel DSD as DoP. As a test, I did the same using a trial version HQPlayer. HQPlayer takes control of...

I’ve setup my Mac as you’ve advised and now I can play 2-channel DSD. If I try to play multi-channel DSD, I get hissing and I can hear the music very faintly in the background. This is how I’m set up when I try multi-channel Audio MIDI Audio Devices: exaSound, format: 8 ch 32-bit integer 176.4 kHz Foobar2000 Output/Device/exaSound (exclusive) Devices/bits set to 24 or 32 for exaSound (exclusive) DSD Type=DSD Thank you for your help!

Maxim, I've tried foo_input_usdsd-0.0.3 and foobar-v2.7 on my Macbook Air (M1) and it will play an .iso file but only outputs to the DAC (exasound e38) as PCM (44.1 khz) regardless of the setting in the DSD menu output mode: (PCM, DSD, DSD+PCM) . I believe that MacOS will only transport DSD via DoP (core audio) to the DAC. For example, when I use Audirvana (on a Mac) to play DSD, you have to chose their DoP in order for the DSD to reach the DAC. On the Windows version, this isn't necessary, I believe,...

I have more to add to the issue with drop outs. I have an exaSound e38 DAC. It comes with 2 sets of drivers "exaSound ASIO (2ch)" and "exaSound ASIO (8ch)". If I assign outut device to "ASIO+DSD : exaSound ASIO (2ch)" it plays quite well..almost no drop outs...If I assign "ASIO+DSD : exaSound ASIO (8ch)" the dropouts are so frequent, one cannot listen to it. This behavior is the same in the 32 and 64 bit version. Currently, I use the standard foo_out_asio with the DSD Transcoder built with "custom...

Thanks so much for fixing the issue with multi-channel mapping. I just tried your new update and it now works great! The only issue I still have is, with the 64bit version, regardless of the type of file and regardless of the bit rate, the audio drops out a LOT. I surely appreciate all of your hard work!!

I have tried foo_out_asio+dsd (current version) and it does not work very well for me. DSD Transcoder is perfect except for the transition from DSD to PCM. Thanks for all of your hard work!
