Perhaps using Roon would appeal to you and your large DSD library? tracks are unaltered and converted on the fly using the hardware server dedicated to Roon. On the fly conversion using the Bluesound hardware would require a significant amount of CPU time and local memory, add to this the network bandwidth required for multiroom playback and you can understand the technical constraint’s especially as some Bluesound hardware was launched in 2013 and would have been designed a few years prior when memory and CPUs were much more costly than today and still runs the current firmware. Next, MQA formatted files are almost half the size of normal FLAC files of the same. Running two libraries (like I do can be painful) I have a master library with tracks in their original format / bitrate, converting them to FLAC 24/192 and storing them in a working directory on my NAS for use with Bluesound devices. If you would like to use streamrips conversion capabilities. DSD won’t as far as I am aware be natively supported format on Bluesound hardware, their sister company NAD do however have products that support DSD but their devices target a different user which may be you. Then select 'Convert->DSD convert' from track context menu and set up output format, path and file name formatting. DSF & DFF Files are not recognized as audio, and DSD is not an offered conversion option.
