Nucleus capabilities?

[Geoff_Coupe]

Take a look at these signal paths - and you’ll see a wide variation of the load that is imposed on the processing power of a Roon Core…

Show us your signal path

Maybe it’s just me, but I like to peek at other people’s signal paths whenever a screendump is posted. Interesting to see how others are killing their bit-perfectness. Anyway - here’s mine – care to share yours? [image] (Basic PCM upsampling (Precise, Minimum Phase), signal goes from Node 2 via SPDIF coax to MiniDSP (for Dirac DRC) to Meridian DSP speakers (also via SPDIF) – or directly to headphones). After extensive listening – back to basics.

There are many many combinations of DSP possible, and some combinations cause a bigger hit than others.

I suspect that Roon Labs are simply erring on the side of caution. I would too.
