Unfortunately, this is unlikely to happen. JRiver (Jim and Hendrik) tried to explain their reasoning here: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,125509.0.html

The Dirac Live VST3 plugin *should* be supported in MC27 now.

Manfred:
The software player should not have a "sound signature or coloration" and be neutral - "Sine in, same Sine out". DSP is a different topic. Also if all DSD->PCM conversion filters are state of art is a different thread.

Dirac works perfectly in JRiver 25 as VST2

TopDownDriver:
People wrongly believe that "bit-perfect" is the end all and be all of audio.  That once you achieve "bit-perfect" you can no longer improve the audio output and this is far from the truth.

First, EVERYTHING contributes to the "color" of your sound, your amps, speaker, interconnects, software, etc.  this is why several systems all playing "bit-perfect" audio all sound different from each other.  Remember, that unlike video, there is no "correct" or "right" in audio since so many things affect your perception of the audio itself.  Video though can be more directly measured and thus there is an "accurate" representation possible.

Now, back to JRiver.  Certain things they can do to improve the audio - deal with latency, jitter and processor overhead.  Now, technically the majority of this is in your audio driver, but JRiver can also contribute to minimizing these three factors.  Each of these also directly address sonic quality.

"Bit-perfect" applies only to the digital portion of the audio reproduction chain and ends at the D/A conversion.  It is irrelevant for everything that follows.

I think you are confusing taste/preference with accuracy.  While nothing is perfectly accurate, there are enough measures to differentiate, in most cases, more accurate from less accurate.
