I don't think the tubedac11 supports DSD, but it is not a big shortcoming. DSD is the format of SACDs, and was developed for archiving analog tapes back in the 1990's. The problem with DSD is that it is pretty much impossible to do any processing on it, so it is usually converted to PCM (the normal digital format) and back again for any processing. Despite this, some people seem to prefer that format, but getting the squeezebox to support it takes a bit of effort. "To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard.
