Same as the Pro, with native DSD support (would be transparent using DoP).

igor_s Actually I was able to build MPD myself with DSD/DSF support enabled.
Now my MPD can play dsf-diles, but with hiccups, not ofter though, but annoying enough.
I think it's probably because almost 100% load on one Pi 2 CPU core.
May be on Pi 3 the playback could be more smooth. Can't try, cause have only Pi 2.
Or MPD DSF decoder could be optimized somehow... -
HiFiBerry team Hi Scott,
DoP is already possible with the Digi+. We have implemented this already with our Roon image, but it should work with any application that can create a DoP data stream.

Lawshrinkmd Please explain more about DoP for DSD on the Digital+. I thought that USB or I2S is required for DSD output, Andy that the spdif coax only handles PCM out. I would love a DAC with DSD decoding built in
-
HiFiBerry team DoP is simply a way to encapsulate DSD in a PCM stream. DSD decoding can be done in software, you don't need a special hardware for this.

Lawshrinkmd I'm curious, what does a DSD capable dac do then? Is it just marketing hype to have Dacs which can decode DSD vs having the computer convert it to PCM?
-
HiFiBerry team Let me just link a document about this:

Jakub Kostynowicz Is DSD128 also supported?
-
HiFiBerry team There is no DSD support. You can encapsulate DSD64 in PCM to send it over SPDIF. If you want to play DSD file, look for a player that can convert it into PCM.

Jakub Kostynowicz Ok, thx for answer
Best,
Jakub
