Is there a working SACD iso player for Ubuntu?
So here is the thing ... I used to listen to a huge collection of SACD iso files on Windows.
Many albums are released as SACDs for the audiophiles around the World.
Imho 90% of these SACD albums are mastered far, far better than the original CDs. This is the whole reason behind the SACDs.
The reason I listen to them on my PC using a DAC (with native DSD support) is that these SACDs are extremely expensive. I have a friend in Russia who sends me ISO files of these SACDs.
On Windows I can use Foobar2000 with some plugins with ease. On Ubuntu I see no alternatives.
Is there a way to listen to these SACD iso files on Ubuntu ?
I would prefer not to convert the DSD content to flac. I would like to use the native DSD capabilities of my Denon DA-300.

Why do you not want to convert the files to FLAC? As long as you get the data to the DAC and don't use any lossy transformations on the way the resulting audio would be the same.

Audio players found in the repositories (VLC, Totem amongst others), do not play DSD natively.
DeaDBeeF plays both DSD64 and DSD128 through ffmeg. From comment in a release topic:
waker Owner Maxim • 4 years ago
dsd is supported, sorta. you need to use ffmpeg plugin, linked with the system version of ffmpeg, which has DSD support compiled. then all you need is to include the needed file extension to the list of ffmpeg plugin's file ext list.
MPD has a SACD plugin. But the DSD files must be extracted from the SACD image. The SACD image cannot be loaded directly into mpd unfortunately.
