I would like to know what the setting is of the i7 Core of the Nucleus Plus and how I can switch it off in case it is on? Also what the preferred setting would be? According an article, switching off Hyper threading will increase SQ. See below the information from Intel Hyper-Threading Type On…

In that article, how many cores does the processor have. The Nucleus only has two physical cores, so four logical with HT on. In addition Roon is only configured to use one core during playback unless you set it differently. But to answer your question, you will need to access the bios to disable HT…

Thanks for your response Henry, very helpful. Let’s wait and see any response from Roon as they should know the configuration of the Roon Nucleus Plus and possibility to check or even possible to change or not. Jeff

Not support staff, but, I would guess that they will suggest leaving it alone and as set by default. Nucleus OS, which is different than ROCK, has special thermal routines for throttling CPUs in the fanless Case. Adjusting anything in BIOS, especially concerning the CPU, may mess up those calculat…

Hi Daniel, Despite not being support staff, your answer makes sense :wink: Just because It’s mentioned switching off Hyper-threading, SQ will improve, I was curious about this. Even if we should not mess around with those settings it would be interesting to know and to make our own choices.

Sounds like the audiophoolery, AS sprout.

[image] danny: What article? This is nonsense from my POV. Hyper threading is a critically important part of Intel CPU performance for multithreaded applications. Turning it off is a mistake. Section “Tweaking the computer” here: https://helpcenter.steinberg.de/hc/en-us/articles/36000858988…

I think someone knowledgeable at Roon (perhaps you) should write a blog post explaining the difference between signal theory and information theory. Hopefully with something like that, readers can understand why digital audio is not subject to the kind of fidelity issues that analog audio is. At lea…
