I had an MPC X but it did not serve well for my workflow (building elements and cycles (loops) in real-time without stopping) but the sampling quality was the best (especially when adding the resample plugin). Are the DAC and other components other input configuration the same on all three models?

Thanks in advance.

Everything is exactly the same inside the whole lineup. Its the exact same hardware inside A LOT of inMusic's products. They all just have different input/output boards attached to it, and run different software on top.

There are threads all over the place, there's a big one here where the guts were taken out.
The entire family are using the exact same boards inside, the only difference are the output boards attached to the SoC's headers. The same SoC is used across the board in all kinds of inMusic's products for the last couple of years. They bought a shitload of em when they went out of production and they're making good use of them hah.
