Any hope for Linux sound(revisited)?

I recently installed Daphile and once I got it up and running I was fairly impressed by the sound quality......until I reconnected my DAC to a laptop running Windows 8.1 with Foobar 2000/WASAPI and realized that compared to the Windows system Daphile sounded flat, muffled, and uninvolving.

I tried Audiophile Linux and it was about the same minus the muffled part. I tried Deadbeef and Clementine players. Clementine player seemed to sound a little better and had .cue support. I found tracks that sounded good, but when I switched back to the Windows system I quickly realized that the Linux system wasn't even coming close.

Has anyone else tested or experienced this or maybe even the opposite? If you have had a good audio experience in Linux, how did you do it? Distro, player, audio system(ALSA, OSS, etc.)
