I think when I tried DSD upsampling it sounded rubbish, the others didn’t make much of a noticeable difference. Mine’s set to upsampling bypass (sound mode 3), filter 1 (natural) but I’ve just looked up the manual and it seems you can only bypass the upsampling when using USB, which I don’t anymore. SPDIF all gets up-sampled. I dunno.
My Cambridge Audio MXN10 streamer was hooked up by both toslink and RCA and I could switch between the 2. They did sound a bit different, not better or worse particularly. Now I have to use the RCA input for the phono box so the Project pre-box does DAC duties for streaming and CDs and sounds great. I switch between amps to tune the sound for different moods, that makes a genuinely noticeable difference

Have you fiddled with the up-sampling and filter settings? Not sure what I prefer
