Best i9 NUC for Roon and HQPlayer?

Audio Gear Talk HQ Player
1

My DAC is the Hugo TT2. Hope this is the right place to ask TT2 users running Hqplayer.

Looking to upgrade my i5 NUC, running both Roon and HQPlayer.

Is the i9 10980hk 16GB 256GB SSD recommended (multi core wise) (just found a nice deal on it).

I do not have a local library.

If not sufficient, please suggest another i9 brand.

I am not looking for the most complex HQP filters, but would like to have good 768khz PCM and DSD512 (similar to Mscaler)

I moved this from the Uncategorized category to HQ Player

MScaler outputs 705.6/768k PCM. This is also optimal input for the TT2. Doing DSD input there is not beneficial, since it would just get down-converted internally to 705.6k PCM.

For the TT2 cases (705.6k input from PCM and DSD sources), I believe that machine should be sufficient.

Purchased i9 13900h mini computer with 32gb ddr5 and 512gb ssd. Should arrive soon.
