First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Hello,
The lack of SACD playback in XBMC has been bugging me for a while now so I am excited to hear that some members have been successful with Kodi.
I have a couple of DSF files but unfortunately I am not able to play them in Kodi.
Could those of you who had success paste a detailed description of what needs to be done to get this working?
Many thanks in advance,
Jonas

selecting the file is all it should take.

I assume that I have to add the extensions (dsf, dff) via the advancedsettings.xml file? Could you post your version of it?

sloth,
You have to use the last Monthly Build or one of last Nightly builds to be able to play the files. No ISO support yet. When using the last releases don't need to add the extensions in advancedsettings, at least for dff files.
I hope the same can be added to support for MLP files too.
Adíos.

mlp has been long supported, just missing the extension. @

I installed the Kodi monthly release last week so I guess it might be having dsf instead of dff. Can I rename the files since the only difference is possibly metadata? I'll try tonight.

Installing the latest nightly version lets me at least see the dsf files and play them. However, I do not get any sound. The only way to get sound is to set the Output configuration to any of the fixes sampling rates but this way audio passthrough is not possible. My Pioneer LX85 receiver should be able to handle the dsd signal.
The error message in the log file is: CAESinkDirectSound::Initialize: cannot create secondary buffer (DSERR_INVALIDPARAM)
Are there any experiences in terms of the quality of the conversion from dsd/dsf/dff to pcm? Which sampling rate is recommended?
Many thanks!

on windows, you must use WASAPI for passthrough
