Allow passthrough of DSD (via USB) for DSD capable DACs
#1
title should be self explanatory

Currently, passthrough options only include AC3, DTS, TrueHD, and DTS-HD. Kodi converts DSD to PCM.

An option to pass through DSD via USB to a DSD capable DAC w/ USB input would be a fantastic feature.

Is this doable? Is this dependent on the hardware running Kodi in any way?

you could perhaps include

1. some use cases, what albums were/are being released in this format
2. developers will typically only develop for things they own and therefor care about so which usb devices is this supposed to work on

i found the wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Stream_Digital
and the spec https://sonicstudio.com/pdf/dsd/DSDIFF_1.5_Spec.pdf

nothing suggests anyone is actively using this technology and the spec is from 2004 so if this is the case and there are only a few albums it probably would be wise to mitigate expectations
