I can’t send DSD files to Eversolo’s T8 streamer through Roon. Yes, I can do it if I use the Eversolo Control app.
Yes, I can do it normally, if as an end point I use the Hugo2/2Go combo and I can also do it without difficulty by connecting the Hugo TT2 directly to the computer.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Please share a screenshot of Device Settings and the Signal Path when playing DSD.
Incidentally, neither of your Chord DACs play native DSD: they will convert to PCM.
Yes, I know that fact, DSD must be packaged as a PDO.
But the fact is, Roon doesn’t even show me the DSD options in their menu as you can see in the photos above.
Thank you for your help

Your photos did not add correctly, can you try again please?
The Endpoint has to signal supported formats to Roon. If DSD options aren’t showing in Roon, then it is because the Endpoint doesn’t signal its support. Sometimes a setting on the Endpoint, like allowing volume control through the device for example, is the culprit that prevents DSD playback. Please check your settings on your streamer and ask Eversolo about the issue (and if DSD is even supported at all in their Roon Ready implementation).
If you are using volume in the T8 I think DSD is not enabled at least that’s what I recall reading somewhere. Think I noted a similar issue hence needing the pre.
I’ll experiment with it when I can as my T8 is connected to a Holo Audio Cyan 2 via USB and I can try the volume on or off as I can put a preamp in the output chain. Currently I can’t physically access my setup due to some room and equipment limitations
