8716 UAD ............
My opinion too, specially if you need good bass response, meaning all the lower Hz end of bass from about 26Hz up to 40Hz.
Sine Burst Tones (20-200 Hz)
I posted one earlier, it not WHQL, but signed from Realtek, and doesn't contain all the devices, hope it will work for you 8716_PG473_HDAudio_FF00-Syrah_64bit
That's a UAD version though Jenny. The file size gives it away.
As an aside I managed to find an HDA build of version 8716 today but it was FF04 not the FF00 version I needed.
I decided to give FF04 a try to see what happened. I used the included Realtek setup.exe. and was pleased to see it removed my previous drivers then asked for a restart. After a restart the system booted up and the driver install continued without a hitch (I had expected to see an incompatible hardware warning). I had a look for the Conexant dlls that are a part of FF004 and there weren't any. So the install in effect gave me FF00. The sound is good too .

To date, the best driver is 8716. He outdid for the sound quality of 8648. 8716 is the best and for a long time .
At least on my system. And I no longer expect something better than the 8716. It suits me completely, there is no need to look for something new.
P.s ALC1150.
