He did change masks also to a wisp mask. He has used many over the years (about 10 years now), using a nasal with the pillow over his nose and also a full face mask when his nose is stuffed up.
Since starting apap therapy, he went from about 91 ahi to about 1 (typically between .5 and 1.3).
With his new dreamstation, while a couple days the first week the AHIs were about 1.5 or 2.5, most days he is between 4-11 AHI. There doesn't seem to be a pattern but it might be positional or REM sleep (original diagnosis thought he had more during REM sleep). He is primarily hypoapnea with occasional central/clear airway. I do notice more snoring with the new setup but it is pretty sparse and there was some with the old setup.
Attached is:
Encore report for 3/10/18 of his older setup - 1.4 AHI (this was one we had handy).

DH does shift work so sleeps early morning to early afternoon typically.
Other than apap and mask no other real differences.
Thanks for any insights.
