There is no any difference in DSD vs, saying, FLAC playing for Poweramp, this is something else, not format dependent if it happens for you. Though, you didn't specify Poweramp version, nor your device / Android variant.

Oh forgot to mention the device, LG V30+ stock android 8.0.0 using Poweramp 795. in stock music player LG playing DSD volume is normal like playing flac, also in Sony Music stock player playing DSD volume is normal, But in Poweramp is low volume when playing DSD.... flac, aif etc is normal in Poweramp, does Poweramp using DoP or natively?

Poweramp do not support DSD native, app just decode to pcm, it really sucks. 👎🏻

What else is a player supposed to do? Android's final audio output is based on PCM to analogue, so it needs to be converted to PCM at some point anyway. Anything requiring post-processing - such as equalisation, editing, dynamic range control, adding reverb, etc -involve a DSD stream being converted to PCM to do the processing, and just about every studio recording made with DSD goes through that process anyway. Poweramp is no different in that its EQ, gain, crossfade, etc functions need the audio to be in a clean PCM format.

@andrewilley  so if in any time Poweramp does starts supporting DSD the DSD will play without using Poweramp equaliser ,

Well you can always give an option to turn it on and off those who want native DSD should go though somthing like bit perfect mode ... Other will stick to dsd to pcm no problem....

 

Considering large number of people moving towards usb DAC nowdays want to try out DSD is natural.

Anyone using DSD files and an external USB DAC won’t be using internal DSP. That would really defeat the purpose at that point.

No, DSD would be decoded and processed using PA's internal stereo PCM code, before being output to the chosen output device/method. Just like any other audio file format is handled.
