* While working in DXD, the manufacturer does not clearly state DXD (352.8kHz) support.
Many plugins do not force a Max sampling rate, but some could upsample/downsample so adding a sampling rate conversion process in DXD.
A small risk remains to have potentially wrong peak vs. average load readings as well
