I have a D-link Dir-853 router and I flashed the OpenWRT firmware and installed miniDLNA package for it. It works fine, now I can play dsd from my hdd connected to the router (I couldn't with the original firmware). It seems that wiim pro plus still doesn't support native dsd, so I listen to dsd over pcm.

I found This is a custom version of minidlna with dsd support on Github. Has anyone used it? Does dsd support work? It seems for me too complicated to install it.
 
Given that MiniDLNA on your router already supports DSD (must be MiniDLNA 1.3.0+) why are you looking for an alternative, especially one based on MiniDLNA 1.1.5 from 2015?
I don’t know that, thank you. Interesting, i connect wiim to my schiit modi dac (it doesn’t support dsd at all) and i can play dsd from dlna (DoP).

I may be showing my ignorance here, but my understanding is that DoP is DSD in a PCM wrapper, so if your DAC doesn't support DSD then it can't be playing DoP, unless it just lacks the ability to receive an incoming DSD stream (only supports PCM), which DoP was designed to address, I think.

I'm going to stop talking now as I've already exceeded my knowledge of DSD :)

I think the same, that’s why it interesting. Sure, in theory dop is dsd using pcm as transport, and i am certain that schiit audio modi multibit doesn’t support dsd. Maybe wiim convert dsd to pcm? Wiim shows 20-40 thousand kbps 192 khz and 24 bit when playing dsd via dlna

MiniDLNA is indexing DSF?
I'll test that scenario later with a WiiM Pro, unless there's some confirmation in the mean time.
 
Yes, is indexing
DSF playback initiated by the WHA with MinimServer serving (so I know there's no transcoding from the server) plays successfully, so it must be converting to PCM.

Interestingly I couldn't get it to play with a third party control point, although maybe that's a mime type issue.
