Due to lots of other activities I have not been able to work on Rock64 changes as much as I hoped.
Therefore it has taken far longer than anticipated, but here it is.
I'm pleased to publish a link to the first Volumio dev image for Rock64.
Volumio 2.299 for Rock64

This image will boot from eMMC and uSD out-of-the-box.
Support for the Rock64 DAC board is included, SPDIF and DAC are both working.
Limitations are:
- it is WIP and therefore a dev version, no opportunity to update to a newer release (reflash will be necessary)
- not all audio formats are working, due to current kernel driver/codec constraints

I'm convinced Rock64 has great potential.
Note: you can purchase a 1Gb Rock64 board version, it will be enough to run Volumio comfortably.

Please report any issues here.

if you have used volumio with the rock64/pine64 DAC  combo i would like to hear what your experience is [or, was] .
i  took a look at the volumio store & forum.  not much discussion specific to pine64. maybe that changes now that the various parts required are more widely available.  i have not had experience with sbc DAC units but i get the idea that the various DAC units work better with certain sbc units than others. does anyone using pine64 sbc boards have recommendations for a DAC unit that works well with pine64 boards? thanks.

Just tried it out with the DAC from the store - works perfectly. Another solid application for the 1GB board.
