It isn't possible to do DSD over HDMI with a PC (including a Pi). You'd have to connect a DSD-capable DAC/receiver to the Pi via USB or over DLNA with DoPE (if your DAC/receiver supports it) if you want DSD.
And even then bitstreaming DSD might work, but if you're converting PCM to DSD that likely won't work well if at all, since the Pi is simply too weak for such a resource intensive operation.

Hi A-Donkey,
from mwillems' starting guide mentioned --
Notes:
Audio: the Pi's HDMI output works great, but the built in stereo jack is not the highest quality output in the world. I wouldn't recommend using it for actual listening. If you have a USB DAC, just ignore that for now, this option is only about the behavior of the Pi's built in audio outputs.
So from your test DSD still not working through HDMI? only other format will ? Or do you mean multi-channel fail only? Can you clarify more?
Awesome Donkey:
Bitstreaming DSD can't work over HDMI from a Pi. It's an absolute - you can only convert DSD to PCM and it might work that way. However, a Raspberry Pi is too weak to do on-the-fly DSD to PCM conversions. Otherwise...
DSD over HDMI from a Windows PC/Mac/Linux PC/Raspberry Pi/etc. WILL NOT work.
If you have a DSD-capable USB DAC you can try connecting it to a Pi via USB and it *might* be possible to bitstream DSD that way. It's also possible bitstreaming via DoP over DLNA (aka DoPE) might work too if the receiver supports that.
Otherwise, DSD over HDMI will not work. Period.

Hi A-Donkey,
Thanks again! it more clear now..
It's sad that my Marantz pre/pro which do not support DoPE or DAC over USB, and there is no device can sit on BDP's position to do Native DSD over HDMI through DLNA. I will check detail on Oppo BDP to see if it really able to do it.
Regards,
Laser

Not sure where to post this, so I'll just ask here...
Have you guys ever looked into running MC on a ODROID XU4? They're double the price of a Raspberry Pi, but they're at least 4X more powerful than a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+. I've heard people use them as Kodi (and RetroPie) boxes and they're capable of 1080p video playback with no issues. I've even heard people have ran 4K videos on them (depending on the codec, heard VP9 works) too. At the very least, you may be able to get 1080p video working on on a ARM single board computer (which isn't doable on the Pi right now).
I'm thinking about getting one and using it as a RetroPie box, but wondered if you guys ever experimented with one.
