ROCK on Intel NUC10i7: DSD Up-sampling, Native DSD Processing, and Convolution with Acourate Filter

I don’t have NUC10i7 but I guess it is about the same if not worse. Danny of Roon talked about NUC8 being more robust, more heavy duty than NUC10 (especially if you are upsampling to DSD256 which requires a lot of CPU power and it will have to do it continuously while you play the files).

Basically you need a higher single thread speed and most Intel’s recent mobile CPUs have similar single thread speeds. Hope this helps.
