Any audiophile grade setup for the best audio experience?

I plan to utilize high-quality audio files primarily in FLAC format. I aim to install JRiver on a PC equipped with a robust Nvidia graphics card for audio sourcing. The AV processor in use is the Denon AVR-X4400H, accompanied by high-end speakers and subwoofers. My goal is to configure JRiver with optimal settings commonly employed by audiophiles. Is there a comprehensive guide available for this purpose?

There are no "audiophile" settings nor are the necessary.  Just use high quality sources, avoid any lossy compression and connect it to the Denon in digital format, if possible.  I fail to see why you need a supplementary video card unless you are  upsampling high res (pointlessly).

The PC I am installing this on is a gaming PC, and i just have a graphic card in it. Hence.

ASIO? WASAPI? Direct sound?

Use SoX?

Since it seems like you are planning to use the HDMI output for audio/video, most people enable bitstreaming so that the receiver does the DSP. If you want the PC to do the DSP, and it runs Windows, you'll probably want to use WASAPI so that Media Center has exclusive control of the sound when playing.
