RE: Is There Any Hope for Linux Audio?

You should ask yourself how many users use native DSD or DSD256. --- 0.001% or less??

I havn't looked into DSD support. I read you can run DSD512 on a e.g. iFi Micro iDSD under Linux.

I know that Daphile, Vortexbox, Squeeze on Arch are supporting DSD/DoP. I also read that Volumio supports native DSD and DoP.

If it requires a proprietary driver for a DAC to run these formats is a different story.
The vast majority of manufacturers still do not officially support
Linux. They do claim "class compliancy".

Considering > 1 Billion Android (Unix/Linux) phones out there, with a market share of > 75%. It's a shame that many manufacturers still do not focus and commit to Linux Audio support.
A lack of Linux/feature support is usually not a Linux issue. It's a manufacturer issue. I'd stay away from manufacturers, who wouldn't commit to Windows, OSX/iOS and Linux/Android in 2015.
