Would it be possible to configure the audio in a way that absolutely no processing is done, apart from rendering the incoming file to PCM ?

If you set Kodi volume to maximum, it should come through untainted. We did some tests on PCM files:

Can Vero do bit-perfect playback?

The answer seems to be yes. It has been reported that devices based on AMLogic S905* chips will not output 24-bit audio. Some tests were done to investigate. Equipment Vero4k (using S905X SoC). HDMI to audio (TOSlink and analogue) converter, supporting HDMI1.4b USB soundcard with TOSlink input, supporting up to 192k/24 capture. Win10 desktop, running soundcard setup software and Audacity. Method Generate test signal files as 24-bit or 16-bit triangular wave wavs with peak levels -90.34dB…
