Have you considered the other solutions? BubbleUPnP against mpd+upmpdcli would solve all those issues easily.

The closest I came to a solution was here.

I don't know, this little Apple DAC works well with default config. Now I know if it's hang up, I must clear the orphan devices with alsactl clean and rebuild image (when devices changing). We can close this issue, I will work on another DAC in the next days because it's really fun! :) Thanks for info and help!

It has been fun for me as well. Give a try to the other solution... mpd and upmpdcli can be easily installed using docker, so very easy. Let me know if you need some help with that!
