What software to play .dsf or dsd files for Windows 10?


I am new to PC audio so this question may be a bit obvious.  Which software do you use to play resolution audio files such as .dsf or dsd files?  I use Windows Media and I think it can only recognize PCM files but not sophisticated enough to play high resolution file such as .dsf or dsd file.  I prefer not to convert .dsf to PCM.  I would prefer to play high resolution files in their native format.
Thanks.

I use Jriver.  It has had, for me, a long learning curve.

But, it will play .dsf files pretty easily.  Seems it can sense the ability of the DAC involved to play natively or not.  Out of one computer it goes to a DAC that can, out of another it goes to a DAC that cannot.  Makes the adjustment, and conversion where required, pretty automatically.
I have JRiver 23 and I see no reason to upgrade to JRIver 24.  JRiver, through its forum, continues to support 23 (and older versions I think).

That being said, it is beyond annoying that they introduce new versions so often, rather than simply passing along improvements as do many other software vendors.  I had 23 for less than a year before they released 24.  The upgrade price is about half the original price.  One can, it seems, upgrade after a couple of versions have passed through.  Perhaps that's what I shall do.
