Which versions to which versions?
I know there's not that many but still
All 24 bit mqn wouldn't be as well optimised as 16 bit
But I think 24 bit has much more potential and scope than 16 bit had
Makes me wonder if converting all to 24 bit should be an option?

Your favourite 24/96 WASAPI to the latest 24/96 KS.
I found that 5.14/2.97 in 24/96 to be better, but not on 16/44!!!

I have never liked any hirez version as much as I have 5.14 or even more 7.41/91 for 16/44. I probably didn't give them enough chance, so I have focused to dsd instead, in hirez domain.

found a few more settings

uploaded portaudio v92 with different buffer sizes

0.01 s
0.001 s
1 s
5 s

the 1s and 5s take a while to start playing. 0.01 sounds best to me, well better than 0.001 which sounds digital. didn't test the larger sizes long enough to decide on those.
