Dolby Vision needs a payed license per device. Our supported devices don't have such licenses.
I can see the newest nVidia Shield is from 2019. Is there something similar that is newer?
Maybe they will release a new Shield this year 
. Amazon Fire TV has some newer iterations.
Or an Amazon Fire TV. You can run the Kodi app on it.
The log snippets at post #4 (kodi.log and kodi_crashlog_<TIMESTAMP>.log) show different CEC behavior (connected / not connected). So the CEC connection seems to be unstable. Try another HDMI cable. HDMI 2.0 / 2.1 cables have better shielding, so I suggest one of those.
Thanks. Do you go OPi3 -> AVR -> TV? If yes, try OPi3 -> TV instead.

Feel free to reach out if the project needs someone to create/edit/update user docs - that's my strong suit.
There is no V or something we want to keep in-sync.
Correct. That's why your audio doesn't have to be streamed under low-latency conditions. That means, ASIO isn't needed. Your proprietary ASIO isn't fully usable on LE. So my logical thinking says: Don't use that specific ASIO interface. Sure, a standard ASIO interface with native DSD support will do the job. Good luck finding one. 
You need to avoid personal pronouns in such kind of discussions. We don't talking about personal preferences but about a broader class of devices, which are obviouly out of focus and therefore ignored.
Kodi has its origins in playing of all sorts video-oriented content. That is clear and led to many uselul things like a sophisticaed and well implemented menu navigation.
But maybe its time to take a closer look on the audio part.
A/V is in-sync on Kodi, because it's played on the same stream, and gets buffered without low-latency conditions. So I don't talk about personal pronouns, but about the concept of Kodi. ASIO breaks that concept, because it gives audio highest priority.
If you don't need ASIO, stay away from it. In addition to the above points (#28), LE is no low-latency OS, so it makes zero sense.
ALSA seems to be able to do what the Windwos ASIO driver is doing (supporting an alternate setting on the XMOS USB Controller)
Yes. The ALSA part of the Linux kernel can handle standard ASIO. That's why my Behringer UMC22 is working.
Isn't ASIO specifically a Windows thing - not sure I get how it's related to Linux? Or am I missing something?
ASIO also works on Linux, but with restricted licensing:
I also don't get the reason of low-latency for music playback:
As mentioned a couple of times, I think the proprietary ASIO driver is the problem. There is no need for ASIO on music playback. So I suggest using a DAC without ASIO. This one should work on Linux:
I don't use MPD, so other people may have detailed instructions.
From what I was reading about MPD, your dream setup could be this:
...can I use the second HDMI to extract the audio?
Yes.
Correct, I didn't read till the end.
We are using Python 3 since LE 10, before it was Python 2. You probably found 3 add-ons, which are still using Python 2.
