catbrat, i did find a pdf about your listed receiver and it says it has a DSD to PCM Converter incorporated into it. not sure if that means it either doesn't support DSD only PCM or it does support DSD but also has the ability to convert it to PCM at the receiver level in case your player could not convert it.

if your receiver either doesn't support DSD and is converting it to PCM or if you have it selected to PCM then no matter what you did at the player (switching between DSD & PCM) you would hear no change since the receiver is already set to convert it to PCM.
