Description

I am not sure if I am missing something. I can play my DSD .dsf files as PCM and send it to my DAC as PCM. However, does MPV support DSD over PCM (DoP)? I can use dsd2flac from https://github.com/hank/dsf2flac and then pipe it to MPV, but wondering if there is a more elegant way? Ideally, is there a way for mpv to preprocess a file via a script before playing it? As far as I can tell, I can't see anything in the documentation that allows this.

Research direction

Start by checking mpv's documentation for DSD playback, DoP output, and scripting or preprocessing hooks. Determine whether an existing supported path can be documented or whether the request needs a scoped implementation; done means a verified playback approach or a clearly defined, tested feature proposal.
