Switching mode power supplies are the enemy of audio

Yes - but only if "audio" means: analog component with bad power supply system...

Hmmh, I've had DSD working just fine

And are you sure Miska, that when playing DSD files, channels are not reverted?   (firmware 2.10)

Roon -> HQPlayer -> DAC. Or alternatively Tidal application -> HQPlayer -> DAC. Or A+ -> HQPlayer -> DAC.

 

If the DAC has hunch of MQA, you are screwed...

 

Usually I have something like DSD256 or DSD512 output after MQA decoding.

 

HQPlayer... ???    Is it fair to promote here your expensive app, which probably does almost nothing...

TomETS, look at this please: http://drewdaniels.com/audible.pdf
So - caution is highly recommended when listening to HighRes promoters...
