Does MUSE use more Core resources?

Roon Core Machine

Antipodes EX

Networking Gear & Setup Details

It has worked flawlessly until MUSE/build 1277

Connected Audio Devices

Just Devialet Pro endpoint.

Number of Tracks in Library

95% is playlists. Everything is streamed from Tidal.

Description of Issue

Tidal now loading too slow to play tracks when sample rate conversion to DSD 64 is enabled, but otherwise no problem. It worked fine before build 1277, even though processing was about 2x.

MUSE is a rebranding of the original DSP settings. Other than presentation, the core remains the same.

However, your server (Celeron) is marginal for running Roon server, which could explain the reason conversion fails. It’s not uncommon to see processing speed vary on the same machine.

Thanks. I know the EX is really just enough for what I am doing. DSD 64 is the most Devialet Pro will accept, so it is just right. Strangely it seems the problem may have been that the conversion was 44kHz to 384kHz then to 2.8MHz rather than now it is 16bit to 64bit floating, then 44kHz to 2.8Mhz and running smoothly. I can’t explain why the former was happenning.

It’s good to learn that the issue is resolved. If it occurs again, please share screenshots of the signal path.
