I can give my opinion on Roon doing 44.1->DSD as I did give it a quick try. In summary I didn't like it very much.
Every thing got way to soft, transients were extremely rolled off. I had tried jRiver doing the same in the past and didn't feel it was quite to this extreme. I only tried 5th order maybe 7th is better.
I've also seen a complaint on the the Roon forums that having the DSP engine on doing nothing caused changes in sound that weren't desired.
