I gave Steppe cPlay source code. Perhaps he can conjure something up with his programmer friend. I do not know if DSD is among his priorities...and I have not heard from him in a while.
Furthermore, do you have in mind DSD through DoP or ASIO direct?

I sent Serge several emails on other topics... I have not heard from him either.
The situation was to test a Schiit Loki USB DSD DAC that I only had for 4 days. This forced me to install Foobar & JRiver for the first time ever on the audio PC which was built to run cMP/cPlay...nothing else. It felt like I was violating somethin'! The tests did not last long enough for me to be "sure" about all this below, but this may indicate how badly I'd prefer to have cPlay do DSD playback, lest I be dragged down the dark path, LOL!
I must say that the Loki did a superb job (for its price) under Foobar with DSD material.
OTOH, with PCM material, it DID NOT as good as my non-DSD USB DAC and cPlay. Still, under Foobar upsampling (SOX) and converting to DSD, I suspect that I can live with it after it fully breaks in (and after "tweaks").
The cMP wrap does help and I wonder what the Loki could do if cPlay could see it in DoP mode or even PCM to DSD (which Foobar & JRiver facilitate).
Surprisingly, this cMP'd PC accepted the install of both Foobar & JRiver (v19) without major fuzz. JRiver lightens up in terms of loaded code, forced by how slimmed down the WinXP has been made. Mainly, by dumping much of its visual eye candy. As a result, it was the best sounding JRiver install I've ever heard....which still does not make it dear to me.
In any event, Foobar is lighter still in terms of code. As a result, this latest version of Foobar got damn close to the best that cPlay has had to offer. So close, in fact, that for the first time I am wondering...
...ahhh, the dark forces of convenience!
