DSD DSF file playback windows 10 Dragonfly Red USB DAC

Hi - I just upgraded my Thinkpad to an X1 Carbon I7-8565U and can't get sound from DSF files. This is strange to me because on my old Thinkpad x260, DSF files played fine in DSD mode, NOT PCM.

I've installed Foobar2000 with the SACD input component as shown in the following screenshots. I'm also sharing my windows sound settings and confirmed I have the latest firmware for the Dragonfly Red. Based on what I've ready and previous experience with my other laptop, this should be playing back in DSD mode, unless I've missed something?

I've played with FB2K selections, uninstalled and reinstalled, even trying an older version of FB2K and Components, but nothing changes. It only plays sound when set to PCM, not DSD. How can I get the Dragonfly Red to play in DSD mode like before? It sounded much better to me. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
