I was messing around with the Foobar settings and noticed the "DSD" tab is set to PCM. When I change it to DSD, I get no sound. My question is this: If I have the foo_input_sacd component and I play a DSD file, am I actually hearing a representation of what DSD sounds like? I'm afraid I'm missing a step and what I'm hearing may not be DSD. I mean it sounds great but I just want to make sure there isn't anything else I need to do

Do not know the answer, but I am very interested in knowing the answer to this.

If you get no sound, your DAC doesn't do DSD then

It's a Modi 2 Uber, although I can't find anywhere that it specifically says DSD is supported, I doubt it would not be able to decode that. All I can find is 24/192 is the highest it'll go.

That's why you get no sound. Buy a DSD capable DAC such as Chord Mojo then you will get sound with DSD output mode

The Loki is discontinued too. You don't exact need DSD, and to be quite honest, from your inventory list I don't think you should be paying extra money for DSD (in the case that you are). That money is best spent elsewhere.

You can use the SACD plugin or the DSD converter to convert DSD to PCM on your computer and output as PCM, if you want to listen to the files.

I don't necessarily pay for my DSD But thanks for the help!
