The following is from StereoLife Magazine which helps customers to understand DSD in a little more depth. The iDAC2 appears as the DSD USB DAC.
“To play DSD files you need a few things, which you may already have. The first is a computer to play the files using music player software that will translate the DSF files and send it to your hi-fi system. The second is a DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) in your hi-fi system – a device which allows you to play music from your computer, usually via a USB cable. And, of course, you will need an amplifier and speakers or headphones, whatever you use to listen to music at home. If you are going to play DSD files for the first time, you may have to configure your software for that purpose. ”
