Roon and HQPlayer on the same Mac Mini pro

Roon Software Discussion
1

Just made a test on my new Mac min pro. Installed a copy from Roon server and restore from backup. Then installed HQPlayer on the same mac. On i did configure roon DSP max sample rate conversion and the Hqplayer was configured with AMSDM7EC and poly-sinc-gauss-hires-ip. So quit a power was needed.

In the activity monitor the cpu was just 30% occupied.
Roon with this load was even much faster then the nucleus+.

Have somebody any experiance with roon and HQPlayer on a Mac mini pro?

Hi Pablo
I now use roon and hqp on the same m1 mini. I,m happy, probably next thing i could do is a dedicated hqp computer.

My only remark would be: why do you upsample first in roon? Since using Hqp i do all upsampling there (usually ADSMECv2 256).

Cpu in activity monitor is tricky, it does show all the cores i do use the graphs with all the cores from activity monitor for a better view (if you do not want another app)

Happy listening
