anyone using Roon to convert PCM to DSD? it sounds a lot different and maybe better

I always felt leaving files in their Native format was best.  I also did not think using  Roon sounded better than not using Roon,  Roon offers a lot of cool features such as integrating your stored files and researching artists, looking for different versions of songs, etc. but I didn’t think it was worth the money.

I learned about a DIY streaming setup using Raspberry Pi computers.  I’m NOT a computer geek, and it was not difficult to implement. I don’t think it’s been discussed in this forum - https://audiophilestyle.com/forums/topic/71280-diy-a-three-tier-roon-endpoint-with-diretta-on-raspberry-pi/#comments

I feel like the sound quality of this setup provides an incredible value for the money, but the way it’s implemented does require Roon.

So anyway - back to the topic.  Roon offers what I call "tone controls" in addition to their Parametric EQ function (which in itself can be useful) .  These are in the "Sample rate conversion" functions.

I started experimenting with the PCM to DSD conversion and I’m quite surprised with what I’m hearing.  This effect may be DAC dependent (I’m using a Gustard x26Pro).  I’m playing a track called "Roach" by jazz pianist Larry Goldngs which is a 96kHZ, 24 bit file and switching from Native to "Roon converted" DSD512 and the difference in depth and soundstage in my room is startling. 

Now I find I’m pretty much always leaving the conversion on all the time.

I haven’t gone over the Roon forum on this - I’m not sure it’s a very welcoming place but I like the vibe here.

Curious to know if anyone here has tried this.
