Ok, makes it easier for me.
So if this has not been clear from my recent posts: please pull the ffmped tagloader into Kodi main fork.

Hi folks,
I read through this thread, but I did not see a definite answer to the following question: suppose audio system is usb-connected dac, so there are no hdmi issues. Can kodi, while playing dsf/dff files, output dsd natively in such a setup (without conversion to PCM)? In other words, is there any point to consider a purchase of a dac that supports dsd, as opposed to a potentially cheaper one that does not?
Thanks,
-- Stanislav

buzuddha dsd64 need a sample rate of 384kHz to be represented as PCM. thus something needs to resample. and it's not your receiver, it is happening software side since 176kHz is the max sample rate hdmi can carry.

For 44-based dsd (which pretty much everything is), the sample rate converted to PCM should be 352khz. 48-based dsd: 384khz. Is there an initial decimation bug somewhere?
It would beneficial to downsample both at fs/4 , since that would cut sown on ultrasonic noise. At least fs/2. Ideally it should be an integer decimation to best preserve audio quality (but I doubt anyone would hear any difference IRL) and cpu usage.

i tried not to complicate it. it's either 352 or 384, depending on the base as you say.

note that only basic tags are read (artist, title, album, track) - if you are missing something shout and it can easily be added.

Albumartist (or is it Album Artist) is essensial. And maybe "comment" (or what is normally used for comments, such as album code, pressing etc). And of course genre.
I deem those the most important.
Ps. I don't use Kodi for music, so I don't know what tags Kodi normally supports (ie. "Comment" doesn't need to be added if Kodi doesn't use this tag at all)

can you make a minimal sample with all tags requested. it's not entirely trivial to know what they are exposed as from ffmpeg side (it's a general string map..).
