New W10 Installation & dCS Debussy DSD playback

Hello and good morning!
I Installed a new Intel NUC 7i7BNH with Audirvana to possibly replace my 2009 Apple MacMini.
The MacMini is normally directly connected via USB (ISO REGEN) to the DAC. The dCS is recognized as able to play DSD128. Sometimes it is connected via UPnP through an Allo USBridge device.
When I tried to use the new NUC, everything was smooth apart from the fact that DSD playback is limited to DSD64.
There is no option to select DoP.
I can play DSD128 through the Allo USBridge.
Any instructions pls?
My “DEBUG” info is:

Can you take a screenshot of the section where you set the DSD options in Audirvana?

Hello!
Could you please inform me where the “DSD Options Settings” are in 3.5.XX;
I think the options are set automatically after initial handshaking communication with the USB DAC.
I checked the issue in my MacOS installation also (3.5.33).
Every instance of the 3.5.XX Audirvana programm, is presenting the Debussy capability as only DSD64. Exactly as it is in the W10 (3.5.10) installation.
DSD128 is converted to PCM 352.8 kHz for playback.
When I loaded a 3.2.16 instance, is showing the full dCS capabilities. It is also playing DSD128 correctly.
I have a few DSD128 Albums, I am running headless and probably this is the reason I did not realized earlier the issue.
In most cases, I use ROON as my Music Library Organizer and UPnP 2 Allo USBridge renderer.
As I mentioned there is no problem with that configuration.
Now, I decided to set up a direct connection from my NUC to the Debussy as I find this configuration beneficial to the sound quality I get.!
Attached some images.

.

Try to switch the DAC to USB Audio Class 2 (profile 2) mode.

It is definitely in USB Audio Class 2, since it is playing PCM up to 384k samples per second.
The problem is shown in the attached images as "DSD “capability: dCS Scheme 1”.
Regards and thanks for the reply!




What is weird is that the DSD setting is missing completely. This is somehow related to the USB interface.

Try to install (again) the driver (ASIO):

Hello again!
I reinstalled the dCS 2018 driver for Windows.
Now it seems to work both in WASAPI and ASIO modes.
DoP 1.1 is set and DSD128 capability is on.
I shall check later today or tomorrow the MACmini .
Thank you very much for the help.

Hello,
Good Morning!
Yesterday I had a very promising session of music through the NUC/W10 Audirvana exclusively bitperfect, all sample rates.
The problem we are dealing with, remains with the MacMini.
