Design a PC/Server for ROON and HQ Player

[ismewor]

Miska,

I would like to know does CUDA will support GTX970m with 3G memory.

 

Thx

Adrian

Thanks Miska,

 

So with that said. Does AMD totally out of the picture for the DFP method?

 

Thanks,

Adrian

That really doesn't matter. Unless you either feed LPS and upgrade clock.

[ismewor]

In addition you better replace with custom sata and power cable

[ismewor]

Others can correct me but my guess is that even with hdplex 300w, it will be short of power doing DSD512. The computation is very cpu intensive for DSD512 from what I gather and the efficiency of a linear power supply is also very less, say around 50-60%.

 

It's all depend on your linear power supply quality and regulators. Your bottleneck is that DC-DC power supply. Which will bought down your overall performance.

@Miska, by any chance will you working on intel platform support for 6-8 cores as well. Thx

[ismewor]

Thx Miska, so 3.16.1 should be able to help out on initial module plug-in for up-sampling? Mostly issue is initial plugin spike of CPU usage.

[ismewor]

Miska, you just nail it. I'm actually looking for that answer. Thx

 

also, for pcm to dsd512 does more core help? Or need to have min clockbus in each core?

[ismewor]

Sure the $100 is worth the money for the 2 CPU different. 

However, the only issue I drop this case is you have to use it own power supply it create lot of noise. But YMMV may be case by case.

Sorry the specs should be 

 

Windows 10 Pro (64bit) English

Intel® Core™ i7-6700 Processor (Quad Core, 8MB, 8T, 3.4GHz, 65W)

8GB (2x4G) 2133MHz DDR4 Memory

250GB 2.5inch Serial ATA (7,200 Rpm) Hard Drive

GeForce GT720 with 1GB ram

Base on this you might want to consider 

ssd for hard drive if you looking for fanless.

also if you need cuda offload. GT1080 should help.

szczemirek, folks on this thread want to be able to use HQ Player and upsampling to DSD512, which requires some muscle. For Roon alone you are right, no need for the muscle.

 

Any Upsampling do need muscle even in Roon.

Note that i7-7700T doesn't support ECC memory (or I believe other Socket 1151 parts either).

 

In Socket 2011-3 range there are ones with ECC support. But then it's at most Broadwell-E/EP.

 

 

ECC memory only exist on Server class CPU specific and not MB socket.

So any Xeon CPU support ECC memory.

How many Xeons have you seen for Socket 1151?

 

Besides, I wouldn't call Xeons "server class CPU", lot of E3's and E5's go to workstations. I have a Xeon E5 workstation myself. Not a server, but specifically a workstation, with ECC RAM.

 

Mac Pro (and maybe the iMac Pro) go into that category too.

 

Miska,

Sure, Xeons class also work as workstations for sure.

I mean Xeons cpu support ECC memory.

socket 1151. Entry level Xeons E3 are 1151

dsd512 with -2 filter is what i been tested. however the hardest part is xtr filter. I'm not sure even with current i9 can anyone confirm?

Could someone give me a background of this, please?

I mean, why would one need an external power for HDD?

Just click on the link and read back. it is more on an M2 vs Optane

Does anyone try any of the new 12 cores and 16 cores Rzyen on AMD? Pink Fran highly recommended with Linux with HQP.

I've not tried new big Ryzen's, but small R1700 is good too for HQP: 8 cores, cheap, TDP 65W !

 

Thx, @volpone as for which filer can 1700 handle for DSD512
