Your tongue in cheek dismissal ignores the fact the bits delivered are indeed the same bits. It is easy to prove that exact same data is delivered by many of these programs so something else is going on because they ARE the same bits.
So it has to be some interaction of the computer and the DAC = some difference in timing. The solution is to use the computer only for storing and arranging the data and then deliver the song file all at once to the DAC. Then let the DAC deal with it... take the computer out of the playback equation.
Now I see above a proposal to address the chip delivering spdif directly? IMHO a huge step backwards since you still have all of the timing issues. Get the computer out of the equation.
