Listen to mp3 256 and flac to see if you hear a difference.
I agree. MP3 at higher sampling rates is great! Lossless FLAC/WAV is for music production, where inaudible frequencies become audible by using audio tools. If you're no musician, stay away from lossless audio. You will lose storage in TB range.
I don't see anything different from what I expected,just trying boot over sd, failing, then tryng usb, failing and coming back to sd again and again. Would it be useful to post a photo of the screen.
No screenshot needed, the output seems to be normal.
Can you boot a fresh LE installation from USB?
What's the message when you boot without microSD?
Or are these special nightly updates handled differently?
Differently. Use the update folder method again, when the official LE 13 comes out.
Where do I go to get LE13? All I'm seeing is LE12.

rebootDolby 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.
