Hello @Morten_Valbjorn,
Are you trying to play the 5.1 DSD files to your iFi iDSD nano or to an A/V receiver? If you are trying to play to the iFi DAC, we will automatically convert the 5.1 DSD to 2.0 DSD for playback. If it is an A/V receiver, I will need more information to be able to tell you if things will work. What model is the A/V receiver?

My A/V reciever is
ONKYO NR656…Decode DTS/ATMOS
Hello @Morten_Valbjorn,
Unfortunately, I do not believe you will be able to play DSD files to the Onkyo NR656 from a PC or Linux computer. Since there are no HDMI drivers on Windows or Linux that support native DSD, you have to use the DoP format for DSD on HDMI. As far as I can tell, the Onkyo will not decode a DoP formatted DSD stream via it’s HDMI inputs.
When you play a DSD file to the Onkyo via HDMI connection, Roon will automatically convert the stream to a high resolution multi-channel PCM stream. This should still provide excellent sound quality.

Is the 5.1 DSD to 2.0 DSD for playback a direct conversion or does the DSD first get converted to PCM and then later back to DSD? Thanks.
