Can the RS130 upscale PCM to DSD or DoP? If so how?

We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
I have a few questions for you.

  1. What is the DAC model name you use?
  2. How do you connect RS130 and DAC?
    If connected via USB, supports DSD according to external DAC specifications
  3. Can DSD sound sources be played in PCM even if you use an output other than USB output?
  4. Is the software volume control function turned on in the output settings of your RS130? If so, you have the following problem:
    Caution 1. It cannot be used in Native DSD or DSD over PCM mode. It is applied after changing to DSD to PCM(upto DSD128) mode.
    Caution 2. For digital output, MQA Stream is supported only when the volume is MAX. If it is less than MAX, MQA Stream is not supported.

Holo Audio Spring 3 Kitsune DAC.
USB
Yes
No volume is fixed not on
Not concerned with MQA
I want to know how to tell the RS130 to upscale PCM to DSD my DAC supports it easily. I stream Tidal Qobuz and use ROON as well
Thanks

It is not possible to resample PCM sound sources to DSD via RS130. Currently, resampling is only possible with PCM.
