You cannot to my knowledge passthrough DSD. This is due to the GPU HDMI Audio driver (intel, Nvidia, AMD irrespective - a. least speaking for windows) which does not bitstream DSD eventhough the HDMI conventions support it since HDMI 1.3. So no DSD bitstream to your receiver. Only other alternative would be to bitstream DSD via usb to a DSD DAC.
But I understand that there is a way to play .dsf files in XBMC. I tried that (using kobi) with no luck so far as the files don't even show up. what do i need to do. Am following XBMC since long time but am currently using another software. Have just noticed that XBMC provides full BD menu support on most of my BD's which is great so i consider shifting to XBMC. Having as well a large SACD collection on my server in dsf (used an old PS to rip and then reworked with SACDextractor) if these would also play I'm sold.
