Hey @Cliff S.
Thanks for the update bud.
I updated to 6.0.8923.1 UAD (released by hp) on Fri. and it doesn't sound bad at all.
I wouldn't know about 6.0.8945.1, but this one is quite refined and detailed (for my ears, at least), with excellent bass, not too heavy, not too light.

a few days late in responding to this but-
actually MS posted both 8931 and 8934 on MUC that day - both non-generic
edit - next time you mention a new UAD driver from MUC, download its cab file & view the contents in 7zip to check the INF files included to determine whether they are generic or not
I think there's also an 8924 UAD driver from HP ddelo - nearly forgot where
edit - oh here it is (it's a big 1Gb package)
8945 UAD is best suited for MSI & Gigabyte systems; not sure how well it will work for others but I'm sticking with 8945 on my Gigabyte board
Thank you very much Andy.
You see, I'm a little lost with the UAD drivers of my new laptop, so I just use the updates provided for it by hp. It started with 8858, went to 8895 and last Fri. to 8923.
Thus I just take your word for it (you know that I greatly respect your opinion regarding sound quality). Once I figure out what the heck UAD driver I need, I'll be able to pick and choose between the new releases.
I've been quite busy with my new job assignment the past couple of months and I haven't been able to find the time to understand how the UAD drivers work, as I see a lot of extensions in Device Manager and it's quite confusing.
One of these days, I might need a UAD tutorial by you and @Cliff S.....
I think it's because of the several Intel Smart Sound Technology Bus driver versions (Intel HDASST) included that contributed to the 1gig size download

btw, 6.0.8935.1 UAD recently showed up on MUC - for modern systems only (any UAD driver version greater than 8904 on MUC will no longer include the generic hdxrt.inf & hdxrtsst.inf files). so like with 8931 & 8934, 8935 is pretty much non-generic
use iZip on your ipad then
With a little luck a new HDA 8945 will come out soon , as I cant update anymore since 8904 ( last generic )............
