This is just a patch for some issues I found. Check out the previous release notes for more details on the new awesome and unique new Mega Organik Halfband filter.

When the UI says one preset is loaded, the DAC plays that preset.
This is a reliability release. No new presets, no DSP changes — v1.17.6 sounds bit-identical to v1.17.4.

What's fixed:

Live-capture preset switching optimisations.
No leading silence on file playback when your DAC negotiates a lower rate. The ~30 ms gap at first sample is gone.
macOS Float32 wins over Int24 even at a lower rate. On DACs that expose both, the Float32 path is now preferred — no unnecessary integer conversion.
Windows DAC hot-swap during live capture. Plug in a different DAC mid-stream and the engine reads its native rate. Previously stuck at the old DAC's rate, which produced pitch-shifted output.
Caveat: if you yank your USB DAC mid-playback on macOS, the UI will still show PLAYING until you press Stop.
