John, a misunderstanding cannot be termed "a difference of opinion". DoP is an encryption mechanism, not a PCM conversion. Native DSD simply rides on top of a 24/176k+ signal, and there is a flag on the 8 bits (of the 24) that tells the DAC whether the container is PCM or DSD. No conversion has taken place...the DSD stays DSD.

This genius little encryption is easy to implement and allows DSD-capable DAC mfg'ers not to have to build their own DSD-capable ASIO drivers, etc. Should they have ASIO drivers (for Windows) then they can offer them for non-DoP signal path, too.
