Poor DSD512 upsampling performance on NUC10I7

[Neil_Small]

@Serguei

Multi core processing speed is just at 1.9x. And single core at 1-1.3x, so I get dropouts in single core mode

Is everyone familiar with Danny’s explanation of Processing Speed in relation to upsampling?

Processing speed differences playing the same audio on the same machine

The confusion is something I’ve spoken about earlier, and I’ll reiterate it here. This is one of the reasons we tell everyone to not use this processing speed as some form of efficiency metric. In the case of the network output, the audio enters the network stack straight out of Roon, which is a system optimized for gigabit networks. There is very little that happens in the operating system because of fast paths. In the case of a USB output, the audio enters the audio system of the operating …
