I've been a prophet of Linux and the Linux Jihad for a very long time. By its very nature Linux is taking over. Android is Linux , I also recommend Daphile Linux if you have a spare laptop and USB DAC where you won't mind wiping out the laptop to get even another level higher than regular systems, I had a comment published a few years ago in The Absolute Sound magazine about the importance of Linux in the high end. Absolutely first class.

My results in Linux and audio have always been far less than stellar. Maybe Android works better because it has been commercially developed, maybe the USB chipset in the phone and tablet is better than my PC.
Curious to see if Remix OS on my PC would give similar results proving that all of the differences are just software. Not sure Remix is stable enough yet to even try.
Hi !
just to say thank you very much for the info and ... me too i would be curious.
I am about to try Lollipop on a laptop (i am waiting to receive a new ssd), mainly because Lollipop is indeed a minimal OS and should support usb audio devices natively (?).
I should have at least one dac compatible with it.
But now you mention this new "Remix OS"." Curious to see if Remix OS on my PC would give similar results proving that all of the differences are just software "
very interesting indeed. I read often the debate "OSists versus HWists".
I am extremely ignorant but i would tend to be more OSist ... because i heard very good sound from very simple HW ... like the Squeezebox Touch (in the end a streamer can be seen as a very minimal pc with limited functions with a proprietary OS).
Have you already experience direct or not with Remix OS ?
Please keep us updated on your findings.
Kind regards,

Yes, hardware had a lot to do with it. Which is why I now use an Auralic Aries. Very nice sound from that Linux system as well.
Enjoy , have a nice weekend.
