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](https://community.roonlabs.com/t/show-us-your-signal-path/24878): > > 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. slight_smile Anyway - here’s mine – care to share yours? (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. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.roonlabs.com/t/nucleus-capabilities/119431)._
