How does Roon do DSP for DSD

There are a few, but this one is pretty good.

Parametric EQ and DSD playback

We do indeed process DSD without performing a DSD->PCM conversion first. The signal path is reflecting that accurately. I’m going to explain how it works–keep in mind that there are some subtle technical details here, and some background knowledge is required to understand them fully. Processing DSD isn’t nearly as straightforward as processing PCM. With the exception of a few simple operations, you can’t process it directly in the 1-bit representation. There are more steps involved, but it’s p…
