I have successfully played DSD files in the past where my DAC switches into DSD playback mode. My settings are the same in my older MC 29 version, and it is playing my DSD just fine.

MacOS can only play DoP, it can't do native DSD.
DoP is just a container. It should still show up on the DAC as DSD.

Ok, good to know and understood. Yes, I've been successfully bitstreaming my DSD files via MC 29 & 31 and having my DAC play them accordingly at DSD64 (2.8MHz) to DSD256 (11MHz) with no problems. I installed this latest update and for some reason the playback is not working properly now. I just wanted to report this issue for further investigation, as this latest update is the only variable that has changed my (otherwise successful) playback scenario with DSD files up until this point.
Awesome Donkey:
Generally on macOS, both internal and system volume should be set to 100% or else DSD playback can fail with some DACs. In addition with some DACs you'd need to go into the Audio MIDI Setup app in macOS and set the output to the highest sample rate for your DAC.
If that still doesn't work, you may need to downgrade MC31 and find the last build it worked for you.

I've had "disabled volume" checked the whole time between MC 29 & 31, as I use my DAC for direct hardware volume control. Upon noticing the "broken" DSD playback in 31.0.83, I did attempt to set my highest sample rate for my DAC, but that didn't change anything.
I Just downgraded to 31.0.71, and It's playing my DSD files successfully once again. Upon playing my files successfully w/ 31.0.71, I played with the volume options to try to "break" my DSD playback, but nothing happened (w/ internal volume control, as well as checking the "enable volume when bitstreaming" option).
Awesome Donkey:
In 31.0.77 there's this change...
--- Quote ---21. Fixed: Local playback of DSD tracks will not attempt to invoke integer mode.

Maybe try enabling integer mode (or disabling it if it's already enabled) in MC's Options > Audio > Audio device...
