Playing DSD files from a memory stick


Hi all,

So I just got Diana Krall, The Girl InThe so Other Room DSD download and I put it on a memory stick along with a Flac rip of the CD.  Both play well on my HT system, both the on the Sony Blueray and the Denon AVR.

When I plugged the stick into the Oppo in my primary music system, I listened to the first cut of the regular CD and it played just fine, but when I tried the DSD file it wouldn’t see it.

So my question is,  what would be the next logical step so I can listen to DSD files on a memory stick on my primary system?

Thanks in advance 

JD

Oppos are so past tense. I just ripped all my SACD’s with a $30 BluRay I’ve just acquired. About the same speed as dbPoweramp. Then put the files on a flash drive and play in a streamer. I suspect that most streamers nowadays will pass through DSD. Except for my BluNode. You just need a DAC that can decode it like a $100 Topping. No Schiit.
How exactly is paying for Roon going to play the DSD tracks the OP has already acquired?
Maybe GIK will work.

OP:
A streamer and DAC for <$500 will play DSD with better SQ than an Oppo playing anything.
Schitt don’t DSD. What you thinkin’?
