DSD Upsampling In Roon DSP - Opinions?

If it works for you, you may keep it enabled.

It overloads other people’s setup.

Convolution + DSD overloading powerful CPU

Your situation is caused by processing DSD source material through a large convolution filter generated at a low sampling rate. In this situation, Roon is forced to upsample the filter by a large multiplier, creating an absolutely massive load on the convolution engine. A long filter generated at low PCM sampling rates is not a good match for the “Native DSD Processing” option, and would struggle on any CPU. You are in this situation because you started with REW, and REW is incapable generating…
