I can confirm what the Rockbox developers have stated: it's probably more trouble than it's worth to try to alter it to allow higher bit depth and sample rate just for one platform that isn't among the most popular. That said, it still sounds pretty damn good with the right DAC/amp combo. I can't tell you how much I miss my Monica 2 DAC with this, though my D1 is pretty great with the right opamps.
