Laptop or NUC for upscaling

Hello

I’m hoping someone could tell me whether I’d be better off buying an i7 NUC or an i7 laptop to upscale Tidal DSD 512?

If I buy a NUC I’d need to also buy a laptop so I’m hoping to kill two birds with one stone by just using a laptop.

Also will a LPS make a big difference to either?

My SMS-200 doesn’t do DSD 512 yet, but I’ll eventually get an SMS Ultra, which will.

Thanks you

Michael
