Question about DSD audio

[tonimccloud]

Some moments ago I've played a dsd 2.8mhz through  my Windows 10 pc via hi-res audio player. As you can see on the image above the dac receives this bitrate. If I play the same track via my raspberry pi3b moode 64bit 8.3 the dac receives pcm 352.8khz. Is this a moode limitation or I have to configure something?

Does the manufacturer of this device state that it supports Linux?

Some DAC's only support Windows/Mac and often require some sort of special USB driver to be installed.

Thanks for your reply. I've search Linux drivers for my Sony ta-zh1es (dac that I love) and you are right,
no support for Linux, only Windows and Mac. But sincerely, I cant hear any audible difference between 24/352.8 vs dsd 2.8

When playing a DSD file you might want to look at the AUDIO DEVICE section of the Audio info popup.

When DSD format support is detected by Linux USB audio the "Formats" line will contain DSD_U32_BE in addition to the PCM formats for example S16_LE, S32_LE.
