I looked at the components page and did a quick server for SACD amd DSD and it didn't turn up anything..
sorry.

I will post a message on IRC to Peter/DEATH(username) the dev of Foobar2000..
and see if he knows anything or can suggest...

I found this on GitHub

Foobar 2000 DSD and SACD support: Guide to setting up Foobar2000 player for hi-res audio (DSF, DFF, SACD, ISO) #windows

Foobar 2000 DSD and SACD support: Guide to setting up Foobar2000 player for hi-res audio (DSF, DFF, SACD, ISO) #windows - foobar2000-dsd-sacd.md

gist.github.com

requires two components, the ASIO component from

foobar2000: Components Repository - ASIO Output

foobar2000

www.foobar2000.org

and the actual decoder component

Super Audio CD Decoder - Browse /foo_input_sacd at SourceForge.net

Super Audio CD Decoder /foo_input_sacd files. Browse /foo_input_sacd files for Super Audio CD Decoder

sourceforge.net

Super Audio CD Decoder - Browse /foo_out_asio+dsd at SourceForge.net

Super Audio CD Decoder /foo_out_asio+dsd files. Browse /foo_out_asio+dsd files for Super Audio CD Decoder

sourceforge.net

this one has the ASIO ouput dll as a replacement for the one I linked above.

hope that helps.

these components have both the x86_32bit and x86_64bit dll(s) in them..

Wowww, thank you so much @Melchior these are very useful links, I've only found the first SourceForge link you posted that i was going to post, for what I know the ASIO drivers should be already installed, my son got them from the DAC manufacturer, here is the link Evo DAC 3.1 I'll ask him when he's back home and will post any other info i get.

• Playback prebuffering logic update, should fix stuttering with high-res internet radio streams.
• Windows: Slightly updated Album List search box, made delay setting take immediate effect; previous behavior required reopening Album List to take effect.
• Re-enabled decoding of xHE-AAC thru alternate decoders, as FFmpeg decoder is still buggy. This means aac_at decoding on Mac OS.
• Mac: Cleaned up external FFmpeg decoder preferences.
• Media Library made properly keep track of enabled decoders list; made remember which decoder was used for each file, so only affected files will be reloaded after uninstalling or disabling of specific decoder.
• Media Library added 'clean flag' to know if a rescan of specific folder actually completed; fixes upgrading from foobar2000 v1.x with no scan-on-startup folders becoming empty.
• Mac: Properties dialog properly allows multi-line fields.
• Windows: Properties dialog no longer garbles lyrics etc with Unix style line endings.
• Mac: Album List preferences allows multi-line patterns.

• Amended prebuffering code, no longer outputs very large chunks, which caused some DSPs to behave erratically.
• Fixed regression from the last build causing very short music files not to be played.
• Mac: Fixed erratic behavior of Properties dialog on multi line tags with Windows style line endings.

• Fixed ID3 tags in AAC radio stream causing playback to stop.
• Fixed "wrong URL format" error trying to list SMB server root folder without slash after hostname.
• Windows: Improved screen reader behavior in Verify Integrity results dialog.
• Made "Edit Chapters" show progress dialog when manipulating files, avoid unresponsive UI when rewriting large MP4.
• Tweaked MP4 tag padding to rewrite large files less.

• Fixed a bug that made exotic FLAC configurations unplayable if muxed into Ogg/Matroska/MP4.
• Fixed failure to resume internet radio streams after specific patterns of connection issues.
• Made Verifier detect multichapter files with FLAC-style audio MD5, now prompts to scan as whole.
• Improved interaction between Verifier and built-in FFmpeg decoders; more errors get reported.

• Enabled RF64 writing in Converter.
• Amended WavPack in Matroska interaction with Verifier.
• Added advanced preferences toggle for alternate multi-value MP4 tag storage - more compatible with specific apps but less compatible with others. Old versions of foobar2000 read both schemes.
