Native DSD not working about squeezelite HOT 2 OPEN

Your device doesn't list any raw DSD formats that it accepts. Usually for a decvice that supports raw DSD you'd expect to see a format like DSD_U32_BE.

I've seen plenty of devices that list DSD support, but can only handle it when encapsulated in a PCM stream. That is still native DSD and it will be decoded as DSD in the DAC. I've also seen devices that require a proprietary driver to be able to send raw DSD. Some of the firmware versions on Amanero interface cards spring to mind.

Either way, this isn't a Squeezelite issue.

Since your device says it has a SPECIAL stream format you could try the various DSD combinations on the -D setting to see if any of them will actually work, so -D 0:u32be for example as this is a common raw DSD type. The options are u8, u16le, u16be, u32le, and u32be.

yes, I agree: it’s definitely an issue of kernel, probably DAC model is missing in some config file. I will try to understand if it can be added in piCorePlayer kernel or I will try by myself with a more recent kernel or I will ping the vendor, actually offering only a Windows driver on its site.

Thanks
