Will it be possible to perform PCM-to-DSD conversion on the fly in Volumio? This has been a very popular feature of other players such as Audirvana+. It’s considered a better solution then direct PCM playback because DSD-to-Analog conversion is ALOT easier and better then PCM, so even in-flight conversion has benefits.
Here is PS Audio CEO discussing why they are doing this in all their high-end DSD players: How can converting PCM to DSD be better? - YouTube.
While Audirvana+ does a good job, the macOS/Windows environment is very heavy and “noisy” and sometimes I can hear dropouts. A dedicated player (probably x86 only due to CPU power needed) would be preferred.
