[SOLVED] Native DSD on Snakeoil

[JD1]

Ooh that nearly worked. My DAC interface displays 4xDSD when I add a 4xDSD to the queue but then changes to PCM when I play. I suspect my DAC does not broadcast its ability to play native 4xDSD but can do so if forced.

Volume set to 100%? 

Yes. Just went back to settings you suggested and pressed "set volume to 100%" in alsa status; no change. In ympd it shows vol at min but any attempt to change and it shows "problem setting volume". Always been like that. I assume it confirms fixed max vol setting.

From my testing so far, selecting PCM and not putting in any DSD options always leads to all DSD being converted to PCM. [and same with old FW] Selecting DoP gives me DSD of some sort unless I play a 4xDSD track in which case it is converted to PCM at my DACs max sample rate of 384k. 

Adding in the DSD option dsd_native_type "3" gives me the same readings as DoP alone according to my DAC and ssh command but I can't rule out it actually changing to native DSD; just that it will still convert 4xDSD to PCM.
