DSD over PCM standard has been developed to send raw DSD in a fake PCM stream.
To identify it as such, there are 8 bit markers in it.
And the presence of these markers doubles the need of bandwidth, thus explaining why only half of the max DSD rate is available.
So I cant play DSD 256 by the software w/ Go Bar?
If you are using WASAPI or Kernel Streaming, it’s not possible. You will need to use the ASIO driver to do this 
Ok thanks! I do play DSD 256 on ASIO, just confuse why Kernel cant. Thank you
