I own a N10, not a W20, and my DACs are different. However, I can tell you my N10 is able to output DSD via USB and coax. Until then I thought DSD required USB but it can pass via coax too. AFAIK, there is no setting needed in the N10 conductor app in order to utilize coax for dsd. I believe it is dependent on the DAC whether or not it can process the DSD signal via coax. My Meridian 808v6 accepts DSD via coax and USB whereas my McIntosh D1100 seems to only accept DSD signal via USB. Regarding file size, I only have a handful of dsd files, mostly if not all DSD64. I can’t remember if I tried any 128 and I know I don’t have any 256.
