Why do NAS' Struggle with Roon?

If anybody has a recommendation on stress test on roon core on NAS, please post.

Simultaneous Convolution Filter for DSP while upsampling a 24-bit file to DSD128 or DSD256, and then doing this to more than one zone.

List Your NUC Capabilities Here

So I ran these benchmarks with a Convolution file, from @grossmsj loaded into Roon Core, and replaying 24/88 Daft Punk Random Access Memories as a comparison to the NUC8i7 (4 Core machine) Convolution Filter running on one Zone 43.6x [image] Convolution Filter running on two Zones 37.1x (on the original zone) [image] Convolution Filter running on three Zones 37X (on the original zone) [image] Convolution Filter running on four Zones 40x (on the original zone) [image] So that’s 4 zones,…

You may not have a convolution filter for room correction, but applying a signifcant amount of DSP while upsampling to higher DSD rates will test your CPU.
