Does dff:dopwav transcode the DSD file in itself?

Thanks for the prompt reply; also, appreciate that you are taking the time to answer questions around somebody (some other manufacturer) else's problems.
I agree with your reading of the spec, but then I am at a loss as to why I cannot play native DSD64 or DSD128 through the media renderer. If it only plays via DOP and PCM is limited to 192 then how can it play DSD128 using minimserver?!

I feel I am missing something here

DoP is not PCM. DoP is DSD64 or DSD128 in a PCM wrapper. For DSD64, the PCM wrapper is 176.4 kHz. For DSD128, the PCM wrapper is 352.8 kHz.

DoP also provides an alternative way to encode DSD128 using a 176.4 kHz wrapper. This is not currently supported by MinimStreamer, because:

1) I am not aware of any devices that require this encoding

2) I am not aware of any devices that support this encoding

3) I don't have any means of testing this encoding (see 2 above)

4) It is more complex to implement than the "normal" 352.8 kHz encoding

Have you been able to play DSD128 from MinimStreamer using DoP encoding (i.e., in a 352.8 kHz wrapper)?
