Bluesound Node n130 can't see the DSD files in my NAS network drive. It can see other music files such as Wav, FLAC. So that I can't play DSD music bypass to external DAC.

    “Initial DSD Playback requires the BluOS Controller app for Windows or macOS. Choose a folder containing the DSD files local* to the computer (internal hard drive or USB-connected hard drive). The selected DSD file collection is copied and converted to 24-bit FLAC files and made available to all BluOS Players in the network.”

    Above mether did convert the DSD to FLAC even though it didn't touch the original DSD. I am trying to bypass the DSD to external DAC via optical port(DOP) without convert to flac.

    BluOS does not support native DSD or DoP playback.

    Tony,Thank you to let me know Bluesound doesn't support DOP and Native DSD.

    Lucky me that I incidentally found a way to play the DSD files stored in my DiskStation (Synology) ds418+.

    By using the Synology music player app - "DS Audio", I can use my phone to play the DSD file, fetch it (bypass) to bluesound node n130, then bypass to external USB DAC (SMSL SU-9) to decode the DSD. Iit works. Sound is beautiful.

    I think I have made a mistake. The media server (with DS Audio client) in the Synology may convert the DSD to .Wav or .FLAC before it pass the DSD to external streamer. Since I can see the sample rate shown on the DAC is 44.1khz only.
