I'm having some trouble with how this works. Conceptually, let's say I want to play DSD and PCM files on my system. But I want to treat them differently in some way. This is a common requirement right? Like bitsteaming DSD, but playing PCM files normally using DSP Studio.
So I set up two zones: PCM Player and DSD Player. I set up mutually exclusive zone switch rules that stop the other zone. So when PCM plays, it stops the DSD zone. And visa versa. Testing:
1. Double click a PCM file: It should go to the PCM zone and start playing. If DSD Zone was playing, it should stop first.
2. Double click a DSD file: Should go to the DSD Zone and start playing. If PCM Zone was playing, it should stop first.
So far, I'm pretty sure that's right. Now:
3. Make a mixed playlist of DSD and PCM files. Right click on the list and select "Play". What should happen? In my limited testing, it seems to send only part of the playlist to which ever zone is currently active. So if PCM Player is selected when you do this, all the PCM songs go there, but nothing happens to the DSD songs.
Is that what's supposed to happen? Seems broken. How could you ever play a mixed list using zone switch? Maybe I'm missing something fundamental here.

I think the Mac version has it's own zone issues and I've started a separate topic about th
