I tried to download an up-to-date X5 II user manual from the official link on FiiiO's website. Unfortunately it doesn't work. An older user manual I found on the net sais nothing about DSD playback via an external DAC. But since there's a DoP setting for the coaxial output, it should work with DSD (.dsf, .dff) ...or so I thought.
But it does not. None of my FiiO players – X3 II, X5, X5 II – plays DSD recordings through the S/PDIF output. As soon as a cable is plugged into it, the display shows «File not supported».
Am I missing something or doing something wrong? Actually I don't care for DSD (one of the reasons being the disabled equalizer), but I'd like to know the reason for the discrepancy.
