Sinc-style Filters added to MUSE for upsampling?

I am aware of HQ Player and have been researching it heavily for the last few months.

However, if one did not want to use/invest in HQ Player and the additional hardware to run it (outside of their Nucleus), but did still want to gain some benefit from the use of these more complicated reconstruction filters, is there a way to incorporate some reduced-performance versions of these into Roon MUSE directly, accessible via the drop down menu?

Speaking directly to the ‘Sample Rate Conversion’ function within MUSE, and the ‘Sample Rate Conversion Filter’ drop-down menu within that. Current options are Smooth/Precise combined with Minimum/Linear Phase.

I apologize if this topic has been previously addressed, but my search only turned up results for room filters and convolution filters. Please delete if this has been addressed.

Exemplar:

Both linear phase options already are sinc type filters. Of the two, Precise linear phase more closely models a sinc function impulse response.

Thank you. That’s superb info and shows that there is a significant reduction in reserve CPU power moving from Smooth Linear to Precise Linear as I upscale to 705k/768 to send to my SRC-DX. 31x-33x reserve on Smooth/Linear vs 11x-13x on Precise/Linear.

I consider this issue closed.
