Initial DSD Playback requires the BluOS Controller App for Windows or macOS. Choose a folder containing the DSD files local* to the computer (internal hard drive or USB-connected hard drive). The selected DSD files collection is copied and converted to 24-bit FLAC files and made available to all BluOS Players in the network.
Notes:
- The original DSD files are not altered.
- * Selecting a network-mapped drive instead of an internal/USB-attached drive results in error.
To playback DSD files on BluOS Players, perform the following steps:
