I think that sometimes differences between OS+player environments depend on driver optimization. In Linux one has a USB Audio v2 driver, whereas in Windows one has a different driver that might be able to talk differently to your hardware.
We at NextHardware.com are measuring the differences between WinXP+Foobar and WTFPlay in bit-perfect playback.
Going back to your question, some people find WTFPlay very good for SQ, although austere as interface. Another good Linux environment is Logitech media Server 7.9 + squeezelite-R2. R2 is a nice extension to squeezelite developed by a NextHardware contributor.
Personally, I use AudioLinux (an "audiophile" ArchLinux distribution) with HQPlayer - they are not free.
