As long as the dac treats them the same I would say there would be no difference. DoP as mentioned previously is DSD just transported differently. Ultimately it's the same data that is being decoded. If your looking at a dac that is native DSD only, I wouldn't recommend using it with the BDP. We have no time line on when we will support native DSD (we do support DoP currently). The other issue with native DSD support are the varied formats that need to be supported. When we do implement native DSD, it doesn't necessarily mean your dac will be compatible with native DSD that our player outputs.
