What Signalyst HQPlayer settings do you use?

Do you use HQPlayer?  I use HQPlayer to upsample 44.1 and usually the sound quality benefits.  But after trying many many combinations of Filter, Dither, and Sample Rate settings, I am now frustrated with the overwhelming number of combinations and choices. The perceived differences are usually subtle and difficult to remember.  I just want to set them and forget them but I can’t while continuously thinking that there must be a superior group of settings.    

My digital front end consists of: Frankenstein I7 PC;  Windows 10;  Roon;  HQPlayer;  Berkeley Alpha USB;  Berkeley Alpha DAC.

What are your recommendations for these settings?  What settings do you use?   Is there a default group of settings?  What are the most commonly used settings?  What is the scoop here?

My usual settings.. 
PCM 384, sinc-m, lns15
DSD 256, ext2 or xtr mp 2s, asdm7ec

The above are a good starting point and then just change out one setting at a time until u find something u like.

Thanks docroasty.

Your suggested options don't appear in my menus.  It must be version 4 while I still am using 3.

But I will go with your suggestion and try to stick to changing only one setting at a time.
