Esoteric DV-50: Tweaks, Up-sample settings, etc.

Hello All;
I would like to hear from DV-50 owners out there who have fine tuned their units with various powercords, isolation devices or stands, EMF/RFI tweeks, cables etc. Have you found an Up-sample setting that seems to work well, most of the time, with all discs? I have found that some older discs do not benifit from up-sampling. Are you using the single-ended or balanced outs?
I am currently using the XLR outs with HMS balanced cable, but the gain is super high.
What is the consensus on the ground wire hook-up?
Are most of you using it, and if so are you grounding to the pre-amp, amp or to the screw on the receptacle cover plate?
Leave the unit powered up all the time? Shut down occasionally?
I really appreciate, in advance, all of your input regrding these subjects.
Thanks; Tim

I will be getting my DV-50 delivered any day. Would be interested in any feedback on present and past owners.
Thinking of useing either my Virtual Dynamics Nite cord or my BMI Shark cord.
I have heard running a ground wire from the DV-50 to either a ground on your amp or straight to the wall outlet ground makes a signifigant improvement in sound. Will be running balanced Purist Venustas cables to my Placette passive preamp(have to use XLR-RCA adapters for the preamp).
As with my past Sources, I will keep the DV-50 powered up 24/7.
