In case you have DSD on disc (SACD rip, DSD download), the most simple and cheapest way -imho- is using UAPP android app
It should run on any current android phone/tablet/hardware media player for very little money (and it will install on any device using your Google account).
In my eyes, it's not only a fine, gapless multiformat (stereo only!) player software, it also can repackage DSD data as DoP (no conversion, just repackaging) and thus send it e.g. to an Expert 200 via USB (OTG) and offering bit exact transmission.
BTW 1:
Ripping DSD via LG BD drive is new to me. I have to try, thank you. Currently i'm using Pioneer BDP-170 for that purpose (which i have to repair now- no power - so it should be rather easy to fix).
BTW 2:
I'm mostly listening to Rock and Pop albums, so my SACD collection is rather small, e.g. all Genesis box sets of Hybrid SACD, Pink Floyd (2), Dire Straits (1), Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells, and only few more. They all should be PCM originals converted to DSD, i.e. not the very best way to do DSD ... and they do not really impress me soundwise. For these, i easily could do without DSD
