A NUC for Roon ROCK & HQPlayer

On your suggestion i guess this could be a Winner Beast:

You can certainly try rock on anything but it might work now yet not down the road…but either way rock can’t run HQP currently

I’d be interested to know if anyone has tried the 8th gen i7 8700T upscaling to DSD512.
My current processor is a 5930K and upscaling to DSD512 native has a processing speed that flicks between 1.5x and 1.7x (with parallelize Sigma Delta Modulator set to YES).

I am going to invest in a headless server and i have been looking at the 8700T due to the low TDP of 35W and my desire to build a fanless rig. However, my understanding is that the 8700T is about 10% slower than the 5930K using multiple cores so it might be cutting very fine for DSD512.
