I use Foobar 2000 and JRiver and they both output DSD Native to the BDA-3 DAC.

What (product) hardware are you using to output your files to the BDA3?

Hi guys, thanks for the response. I am using Volumio on a rasberry pi 2b with USB to the DAC.

Had a chat with Chris Rice via email today and he thinks that while Volumio seems to support the correct MPD and ALSA versions, the kernel may be lacking the necessary specific support for the BDA-3 USB/Product ID needed to make it work properly. I am raising the same question on the Volumio forums to see if a dev can comment.
