The latest MSB Quad Module does DSD in Native processing. As with their earlier modules, it can also do DSD with DoP.
Totaldac does DSD with DoP. At least the one I reviewed last year.

Yes but don't they use a separate chip to do the DSD and some convert dsd to pcm before going to the chip. A ladder dac is called multibit and will not decode single bit DSD streams or so I thought

Some Schiit from Schiit regarding DSD and the Yggdrasil DAC.
What about DSD?
Yggdrasil won't do DSD, no way, no how.
But what if I want DSD?
If DSD becomes a significant part of the market, where "significant" is defined as "more than 1% of total sales," then we will support it via a separate dedicated DSD decoding box. Today, when it is less than 0.01% of recorded music, well, hey, we're not so interested.
What? But I hear DSD is the future!
Yeah, and reel-to-reel was the future in the 1970s, and it's dead now, and DAT was the future in the 1980s, and it's dead now, and HDCD was the future in the 1990s, and it's dead now, and SACD was the future in the 2000s, and it's dead now. But, let's say Sony suddenly opens their vaults and offers 30,000 DSD albums with guaranteed direct-from-DSD provenance at $5.99 each, and Apple starts streaming DSD as its de facto format for iTunes, (yes, we know, stop laughing) then hey, Yggy is fully upgradable...and then we just change it up to be the best DSD DAC out there.
