Thanks.

It reveals bugs in showing the bits field. Will fix it in a following
email.

It's weird that DTS supports 7 channels while DSD supports 6.
DTS is simple the compressed form of DSD.

I wonder why the monitor report these zero valued SADs?

Yes it's unexpected. Do you know its real speaker numbers and
allocations? Does it provide some number of line-out ports?
