RE: DSD streaming no longer works
You are transcoding DSF files to DoP/WAV. This is a WAV stream with a special encoding (DSD over PCM) that indicates it is not a normal WAV stream but is a container for DSD data. If you stream to a device that doesn't understand the DoP encoding (such as an iPad), you will get what sounds like static noise. If you listen very carefully, you might hear a very faint distorted version of the music within the static noise.

When you use a renderer that understands the DoP encoding (like your PS Audio DAC), the renderer extracts the DSD audio from the WAV stream and plays it correctly.

There should be something on the front panel of the PS Audio DAC that tells you what the input signal is. For "plain old" WAV, this will probably say PCM. For DoP/WAV, this should say something like DSD. What does this say when you are hearing the static noise?

Does the SoTM SMS 200 also have an input format indicator? If so, what does this say when you are hearing the static noise?
