Mark,
I've just had the same problem on Gentoo with a new (and rather expensive) DAC. With the 3.13 and 3.14 kernels it sounds like a bowl of Rice Krispies - snap, crackle and pop.
BUT! After reading this bug report I tried the latest 3.4 kernel (3.4.87) and that works perfectly. It would be nice to track down the proper fix, but at least we can listen to some nice music in the meantime.
-----
I have just added a QED Bluetooth receiver to my sound system to allow me to stream my music without the rice krispies effect.
It's not a solution, but a fudge and work around until someone can help fix it. It doesn't sound as good and it chops off the top end frequencies but it's something. :-(
I tried a fresh installation of 14.04, in case of any legacy issues, files and configs from the 13.10 installation, but alas the same problems remained.
I did consider using openSUSE or another flavour of Linux too. I guess with your test of Gentoo, I can put it to one side.
