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? ![](https://roon-community-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/original/2X/8/87814efa0ddd9090f028ccfbac6db70d815de714.png) ~~_(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._ ---

Me too, here is mine for now: ![](https://roon-community-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/original/2X/6/632ab7158919b897cecb8afdda232baa1c9a03d4.png) After microRendu there is a Mojo connected to Sennheiser HD800S which I have EQed somewhat to create a profile with more bass for some ECM jazz albums. ---

Is it wrong for your signal path to be almost too long for a single screen capture? 😉 ![](https://roon-community-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/original/2X/6/6f5cdeaab7217a7d63f6e05c60a3b129ed359293.png) ---

I have two, because at this point I can’t decide which sounds better. Both use mostly the same hardware; “PlayPoint” uses only Roon DSP with the PlayPoint configured as a Roon network endpoint; “HQP-iMac” uses only HQP DSP with the PlayPoint configured as an HQP NAA, plus an additional computer. Roon DSP is smooth, minimum (or linear) phase; 7th order (CLANS); parallelized; native DSD. HQP DSP details are shown pretty well in the graphic. ![](https://roon-community-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/original/2X/3/3980c38c492247d457e1c02657d4519a01bb3df3.jpg) ![](https://roon-community-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/original/2X/0/06c8a835946ef284c40be60047829a0e0273a53b.jpg) ---

In HQP and with CUDA enabled, closed-form averages about 25% CPU and poly-sinc-shrt-mp about 28%. I think closed-form might be doing more work in the GPU but haven’t got a tool to check it. ---

A little bit overkill perhaps, but right now I am running no filters (just a mono-measurement for room correction). 🙂 [Next page](https://community.roonlabs.com/t/show-us-your-signal-path/24878.md?page=2)
