SUMMARY Changing the existing tag(s) within a DSF file results in the file no longer being playable. The Denon AVR-S700W declares that the file format is bad. Before I modified one of the tags in the file, the AVR played it just fine. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Modify a tag 2. Try to play the file (in this case via the serviio DLNA server) 3. OBSERVED RESULT The AVR refuses the play the file. EXPECTED RESULT The AVR plays the file SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 27 w/ MATE X server (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I personally do not have a device which can play DSF files. However, I never heard of such a case and would expect such a file to be repairable because these are simple ID3v2.4 tags appended to the original DSF file, i.e. you have a block of bytes starting with "ID3" at the end of the file (as you can see with `xxd` or a hex editor). When using "Remove" in the "Tag 2" section of Kid3, this block should be removed and the file be restored in its original untagged form. You could verify this using a copy of an untagged file and comparing the original with the copy after removing the tag. Alternatively, you could use a hex editor which allows deletion, for example `ncurses-hexedit` with the `-b` option. If the file plays again after removing the tag, it is possible that your player does not support ID3v2 tags on DSF files. You could also verify that the file permissions are still the same after editing the tag.
