How to setting DSD playback in OPTION,I try to setup but still show "DOP DSD 1bit"(Mac version) not "DSD DSD 1bit"(Window Version)

macOS doesn't support native DSD playback via CoreAudio, only DSD over PCM (DoP). So there's nothing you can do about that as it's unavoidable.

That said, DoP vs. native DSD doesn't actually matter as DoP, once the DAC unpacks and decodes the DSD data, the end result will be exactly the same as playing back native DSD. In simple terms it means DoP is native DSD. A little more info can be found here.

All you need to get DSD (DoP) playback working on macOS is simple; first you need a DoP capable DAC and second just enable DSD bitstreaming. Do NOT use DSP Studio > Output Format > Output Encoding for DSD playback as this will resample everything to DSD (which is lossy conversion).
