RE: Can't comment on W8.1 but can comment on stock Ubuntu w/Alsa as well as ChromiumOS and ChromeOS

You might want to try Volumio on ARM computer or

Daphile on Intel http://www.daphile.com/

Both are optimized headless Linux systems.
You just burn the downloaded image to a harddisk and then
you configure them over Web browsers.

Daphile and Volumio also support DSD afaik.

For all PC/Windows fans with class compliant DACs and a spare HDD/SSD. Playing around with Daphile will be a no-brainer.

Just give it a try.

Cheers
