After the New Roon Update: with upsampling the processing speed decreased strongly

Post count does not equate to knowledge. Such responses don’t serve to help anyone.

Definitely relevant in this case. When you have read only 74 posts, you really do not know that much about Roon, especially the vast body of information that has been posted about Roon here over the years.

@Matthew_Merkle

Again, this is incorrect. Modern CPUs like this one can, and will, enter their turbo state for as long as there’s power and thermal headroom available. This is direct from Intel themselves, there’s no time limit.

This is why these CPUs can maintain high frequencies in lightly threaded applications like gaming or Roon.

Well, good luck with that assertion. Because clock speed intensive sample rate conversion clearly is not working well with the 24 core, 32 thread processor in question.

In general, the “many slow cores” model like your XEON is not the best for Roon. Almost none of our users have this class of hardware, so putting in a ton of effort/complexity optimizing for horizontal scalability doesn’t make a lot of sense. This isn’t just about audio, either–for UI responsiveness it’s also advantageous to have faster cores rather than more cores.
