It seems to me, the solution is having Kodi on Android be able to see an external DAC / AVR and send it a bit stream for bit perfect playback.
This works fine with other players on Android like HiByMusic, DSD or 192/24 plays back via my USB DAC just fine from Android 5.0.1 on an older Samsung S4.
Just as is does with Kodi on Linux, it sees my Marantz 1604 as a sound card and I get 96/24 x 6 channels via HDMI. In fact I've not had any trouble getting bit perfect playback on Android, or Kodi/Linux. So why can't Kodi on Android see my external DAC like other Apps do?
There's some pics here showing DSD / 192/24 playback on Android:
