We need MinimRenderer

The Raspbmc version of XBMC supports USB DACs. See this page.

For DSD support, it should be possible to use MinimServer's DoP/WAV transcoding. XBMC would see this as a WAV file and pass the WAV data through to the DAC. If the DAC has DoP support, it would extract the DSD stream from the WAV data.
