fyi, if it helps. I have some similar hardware. Optimized Ethernet, Volumio Rivo+, McIntosh MCT500, McIntosh D150, McIntosh C2300, two Mc275 amps. I have ripped all my SACD to DSD - dsf files. I put them on a microsd card and run them through the Volumio Rivo+ to the USB in the D150. In addition, I can play the same SACD discs throught the DIN cable to the D150. Also, I have the same DSD - dsf files on a usb stick that I can play through the MCT500 USB input, which goes through the DIN cable to the D150. BTW, if you have not tried it, the user interface is easy and fast on the MCT500 using the USB stick. For the D150, the Rivo+ encapsulates the dsf files in DoP to deliver the DSD to the D150 through USB. The D150 shows DSD64 on the display when playing it. My experience is that if the DAC shows DSD64 on the display and not a PCM number, then, you are getting the best quality DSD playback. I would be hard pressed to tell the difference in a blind test between all these 3 ways to deliver DSD to my Wilson W/P 8 speakers. Now, if I have the Rivo+ convert the dsf files to PCM and the D150 shows PCM frequency for those files, then, I believe I can tell the difference, although, I have not done blind tests to verify it. The Rivo+ also supports I2s, but, I have not tried that since the D150 does not support it. So, bottom line, for me, there is a difference between "encapsulating DSD in DoP for delivery through USB" and actually converting DSD to PCM. The former being the same as "Native DSD" and the latter being somewhat undesirable - but, needs to be verfied in your system.
PS. One way to test your Pontus and DA2 with DSD is to rip you SACD to dsf files, or just buy/download dsf files from online, and feed them to each DAC for hearing tests. For the DA2, you can use the MCT500 USB stick interface to send them through the DIN cable. For the Pontus, if your streamer supports usb stick or microsd, or hard drive, you can send it through that using the USB connection.
