The Audio kernel has nothing to do with DSD!!
The Audio kernel comes with numerous audio and I2S related patches.
And it also supports 384k for I2S DACs.
Beside that there are certain kernel optimizations inside, which
allow for lower latencies. These make the kernel more efficient.
The Wifi modules are not properly managed, because the package and kernel management of TinyCore Linux is all but straight forward.
Beside that, people who look for good quality sound turn the Pi onboard Wifi and BT off anyhow.
Basically: No need for an audio kernel if you want OnBoard Wifi activated.
Why do I know all that? ....
Enjoy.
