Oh, that 352.8KHz will be supported in the next version. Untested though. Hahaha.

About DSD, I'm not sure. Personally I don't think it will sound good.

The means a DAC *has* to use when native DSD is played, I don't like. You could say that this is a kind of pulse width modulation, which is the worst case of a sigma/delta DAC. And I already don't like the latter ...
In the end this is related to the non oversampling principle (which e.g. sigma/delta cannot do). Let's say this is personal.

Please keep in mind that this is different from "some" means that converts the DSD data to normal PCM and *then* convert it to analogue (which exists on some players I think).

I just downloaded the two available DXD tracks ... pom-pom-pom ...

Now it's only a matter of building a DAC around them. :innocent:
