I have been trying out Native DSD tracks with my D120 lately, and I find them to have a lush sweetness in the treble that I rarely find elsewhere.
I've also been experimenting with having JRiver Media Center set the volume, with D120 USB input in PASSTHROUGH mode. Doesn't seem any worse, despite theoretical loss of bit resolution.
Unfortunately, the two don't mix, as the DSD comes through at full volume.
It seems to me that a DSD stream doesn't lend itself to any manipulation of any kind, as even the comprehensive JRMC can't do it without DSD->PCM>DSD conversion.
Anyone else run into the same - VERY LOUD - problem?
