how to play SACD & DSD files?

[newbi14]

I dont know how to hear this files? from where do i play they?

The mediaplayer always says problem with the video, and there is nothing to do for me. Have many files to proofe, but no one runs, everytime the video incidence message. Do I need something extra to play this files?? THX

Try these: HibyMusic (can play DSD from ISO) USB Audio Player Pro, Neutron Music Player, Onlyo HF Player. Not sure tho' regarding SAC CD's if is there some app for that.

All mentioned APP's will play SACD in some/all formats (ISO, DSF, DFF) with DSD converted to PCM via HDMI or SPDIF output. For true native DSD playback you need also to connect an External DAC via USB to the media player using one of these APP's.

Never tried Himedia but I am very confident that will work just fine too.

Hiby is the one I've known to playback ISO's as well. Not sure regarding the others, only that they support DSD.  Did you browse in the right folder for those ISO files?

For playing back them on the Box you don't need an external DAC, but as mentioned it will be converted to other format to do so. Only for native and 100%-ly quality lossless playback will you need the DAC.

Do you use an amplifier or juts the analogue outs on the Box?

I'm also interested if e.g. this DAC here would be compatible with these HiMedia Boxes?: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/SMSL-X4-TAS1028B-WM8524G-MR690PA-USB-DAC-Portable-Digital-OTG-Headphone-Amplifier-USB-Input-3-5mm/32829016494.html ::?

I tried using the dac of OPPO 205 but Q10 Pro didn't recognise it.

@Mount81 That DAC may work but is very cheap. I think the integrated DAC is probably at least as good, but probably better. I would spend a few more bucks. The one integrated in Apple or Samsung smart phones is definitely far better.

I have read very good user reviews regarding that DAC, they say that despite it's -relative- cheapness, it's far more better than most of the integrated sound cards found in PC motherboards or notebooks, so I guess it will overdo at least as much the one found in the Q10 Pro. Actually it's been categorized as the best available DAC in this prize range. And I don't think otherwise that the DAC in the HiMedia Boxes would cost more than a few bucks. I know I could get even better for more cash, but that's evident.
