I don't think that DoP converts the DSD files to PCM, I think it encapsulates the DSD files using PCM to use it as a transport for compatible DACs and players..
Aurender and native DSD output
For those out there that are using the Aurender N20 streamer in tandem with a DAC that has both AES/EBU and USB digital input, can you please let me know if you are able to play DSD files via the Aurender over the AES/EBU output when the "Use native DSD on USB" setting is on?
In my case, this does not work, if I have the "use native DSD on USB" on, I cannot play any DSD/DSF files over AES/EBU, I can only play them over USB.. Flac and other formats work fine.
In my case the Aurender N20 is connected via both the AES/EBU and USB interfaxces to the Chord Dave DAC.

🐂 💩 because page 24 of 35 in the Chord DAVE manual explains the sample rate compatibility of each input. If you read it you would see that the AES/EBU accepts 44-96khz, 16 and 24bit. There’s more info on other inputs there. From the Aurender user guide… On some Aurender models (see "File Type & Resolution Support" comparison table below), "Native" DSD output is available via USB | ||||||||||||||
Further more in the Aurender manual/user guide you have the following information…
