I agree Ivo. With engine 3 all music sounds better with AP. Engine 4 is where I find that classical or more complex music is better with all upsampling in XX turned off. Vocals or less complex music, such as Julian Bream and John Williams, Together and Together Again recordings, sound best with AP turned on (engine 4). Will be interested to hear what you find when you start using engine 4.

hey there Peter,

a quick question about the contents of a typical X3PB log I have here ( see below ). In my setting I have chosen the CH34 ( digital ) entry from those available, and the log seems to indicate that it found it OK, yet a following line indicates XXHE is using the CH1234 output, which as far as I understand, is the combined analogue and digital entry.

Is this just a quirk of the drivers perhaps? The output comes from the SPDIF, so in that regard everything seems to be working as expected.

thanks,

Russ

Russ, good observation !
The last line shown just shows the last line examined. It's actually old log data, while in a before version the iteration stopped once the filter to use was found. This was changed into showing them all for your information. *This* by itself is actually overruled now by the list of devices which just shows in XXHighEnd.

I removed that line.
(and all was fine for the actual choice !)
