[SOLVED] Native DSD on Snakeoil

[agent_kith]

Admittedly I wasn't that enthusastic about native DSD. But @"JD1" is persistent, and thanks to him patiently nuding me on, giving me pointers along the way, he made me realise native DSD is only supported by a few devices by default. I am now keeping track of it here.

Still couldn't get his DAC to work, but at least the proof of concept code works with the XDuoo XD-05.
 

Once JD1's DAC is working, I'd release the kernel, and the source (to make it GPL compliant).

Until then, if you have a native DSD capable DAC, and want to join the test, please generate a diagnostic file and send it to my email address: agent_kith 'at' snakeoil-os.net (Replace 'at' with @).
Benefits of native DSD?

1. Potentially resolve POP noises some DACs have (as it's no longer DSD wrapped in PCM format)
   
2. Potentially less overhead (sent as true bitstream)
   
3. Probably will support DSD256 and DSD512 as it's no longer constrained by PCM bit rates
   
4. Potentially will make you feel the AQ is better because it's native DSD.
   

Now my focus is still trying to get BlindTesting complete so appreciate your patience with getting native DSD to work for your DAC.
