DSD Playback

I own a Moon Mind 180D renderer which supports PCM input up to 24/192. I would like to test the qualities offered by .dsf files (using samples provided on NativeDSD). I am using latest update of minimserver on Win7. I tried setting the "stream.transcode" property to "dsf:dopwav", but this does not work, I suppose because my renderer does not support DoP. I tried setting the property to "dsf:wav24;176", but this setting is declared invalid. From the documentation, I guess the win7 platform does not have the proper ffmpeg version.

Is there a way to solve this issue, or is my understanding of DSD transcoding a bit oversimplistic given my current hardware ? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I can declare myself to be a rather DSD newbie.

The Windows platform doesn't contain any ffmpeg version by default, so you must have installed one somewhere along the way.

You can download a recent ffmpeg Windows binary from this page. Put the full path to the location of the ffmpeg.exe file in the stream.converter property and you should be able add dsf:wav24;176 to the stream.transcode property.
