Does dff:dopwav transcode the DSD file in itself?

Sorry to butt in here but this suggests that potentially DSD256 could be encoded in a 352.8 kHz wrapper. Is this so or a wishful extrapolation? Is there a reference that might shed some light upon which devices (XMOS?) would support this encoding? Thanks and sorry if I've derailed this thread inappropriately.

In theory, this should be possible. I don't know which devices (if any) are able to decode it. A web search took me to this page.

Thanks for this. It appears to be non-standard to say the least. ASIO (for we windows folk) seems to be the best way for DSD256. Transcoding DSD64 and DSD128 works just fine DoP. It would be nice to be able to specifically transcode DSD256 (i.e. not ALL dsf files) to PCM, or maybe downsample to DSD128(?), in minimstreamer if that's a possibility down the road...cheers
