Question: can itunes play dsd files?
Answer: Apple's iTunes is perfectly capable of playing lossless music (aka hi-res music). Out of the box, it will only play ALAC (Apple Lossless) files. It will not natively play FLAC or DSD files. ... That means all your high resolution music files—even those prized 192kHz/24bit—are being down sampled to plain old CD.
