IMO, FWIW, MPD 0.22~git (test) is brilliant. Wonderful sound. Reduction in distortion and proper image.
Addendum: Next logical step: add 'Linux Audio Adjustments'. This is probably better. Very resolving. Need to test with aggressive Mercury LP and large choral. Getting too late. Some occasional light tics, which were not there since the USB tweak. Maybe need to remove the network tweaks that aren't needed.
