Formal response from Devialet Customer support for peoples reference:
First please note that indeed we are only compatible with DSD64. It does not seem that we will include DSD128 in the foreseeable future.
As for quality of the format, we could not actually advise or praise a specific one.
Everybody has different impression even if on the paper someone might sell you the DSD as the best of the best.
My best advise to you is that you try and compare the ones you want to compare.
Spoil yourself with an afternoon of "musical benchmark" when you listen to a specific album in PCM then do the same thing using a HQ player.
You can even test some sample in DSD. I myself do not realise the difference between PCM and DSD, but some do.
My opinion is that, when a certain quality of format is reached, it will be harder to see the differences between the format.
As a clear exemple, you can listen to a song in mp3 vs CD quality, you totally hear the difference.
I hope i have answered your questions in a satisfactory fashion, and wish you a good day.
