I know that DoP at the end of the day is the same as native DSD to the DAC, but I was hoping this update would allow us to illuminate the elusive orange DSD light.

I am guessing the support may not be there on the BDA-3 side? James, can you comment? Is a firmware update possibly needed to support this?
It's hard to know how Volumio implemented native DSD. If they're using a recent build of xmos-native-dsd, the BDA-3 is supported. If they're using an old build or a fork of an older build, they will need to update to include the BDA-3, but support exists from our end.
