Native DSD playback is used automatically if available. DoP is only used if enabled explicitly using the dop option, because there is no way for :program:`MPD` to find out whether the DAC supports it. DSD to PCM conversion is the fallback if DSD cannot be used directly.

The setting :code:`mixer_type "null"` asks MPD to pretend that there is a mixer, but not actually do something. This allows you to implement a :program:`MPD` client which listens for mixer events, queries the current (fake) volume, and uses it to program an external mixer. For example, your client can forward this setting to your amplifier.
