Description Darin 2014-02-14 15:46:09 UTC 
I’ve been using Rhythmbox and found it to be the best Linux player out there, particularly because of the JACK integration.  I’m hoping you will have DSD playback capability soon.  Now that DAC manufacturers, the major recording studios have adopted DSD and users are hearing it's superior sounds quality it’s expected to start catching on quickly as the dominant open-source format for hi-resolution music files.

Windows players like Foobar and jRiver are already DSD compatible.  MPD has started development for DSD, but I really don’t care for using MPD.  A friend from my local audio society does the DSD encoding for HD Tracks and I could talk to him about advising you on the format if you’re interested.  


Best regards,

Darin

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find.

This sort of feature is implemented in GStreamer with little or no participation from rhythmbox.
