I've got an album or two in SACD/DSF format that would be handy to play in Cog. Not sure what it'd take to develop a plugin, so filing an issue here and making notes of whatever I find.

Foobar impl (also shared with an mpd one). LGPLv2.

It currently is supported for playback, if you compress your files using WavPack. Of course, they will be decoded to 32 bit float PCM at 1/8th the DSD sample rate. I don't think there is any real way to play DSD directly from a Mac, it's not like there's an exclusive sound output mode, and I don't even know that DSD over PCM would work if there were.

Any plans to support DSD/DSF/(DOP)DSD over pcm/SACD ISO formats? :) I switch to Audirvana to play this stuff, but Cog is more comfortable and wish it will support this sometime.

update. DSF playing nice, but Cog do not support DOP, so it sends PCM to DAC. So main wanted features SACD ISO and DOP.

I do not know if Macs can even send DOP or raw DSD properly to devices. Especially since I use APIs that resample and process everything and mix it within the system.

I'd ask for help buying another Mac mini and a DAC that can play this, assuming it even works with macOS in any sort of exclusive mode, but that would imply I actually intend to attack the issue forthwith.

I see, thanks for the response. DOP works Audirvana + with Topping dx3 pro+ for me.

Not see any Donate in About

Ups, this the separated menu, strange approach. Will try to donate, thank you.

Cool, so it is possible, but that likely won't help me find out how without poring over Apple documentation to find exactly what they do.

Also, I can't show Donate in About in the Store version of the app, either. I have to go entirely through In App Purchases with that version of the app.
