A bit off the topic, so the PSU in the link produces little noise (how little?) then can work well for audio, right?  Any comparison with HDPLex? Thanks

 

That's a switching power supply, not linear.  It also has a fan.  I'd get the HDPlex LPSU over that one.  There are also better options than the HDPlex.  Depends how much you want to spend.

I knew it was not a LPSU, hence the question.

Ok then. To clarify, the Seasonic PSU will be noisier by comparison to the HDPlex. But you knew that already since the Seasonic isn't an LPSU.

Just to give a quick update on this as I received the DAC which is DSD512 capable. 

I am able to upsample CD quality to poly-sinc-short-mp (non 2s) with AMSDM7 512+fs at DSD512 with my CPU only.
It keeps the CPU on some 40% and the temperature in my case varies from 75-85 Celsius. I use CAM for checking the CPU temp, and the max temp was 98 Celsius, but I guess only for a very short period of time and this was noticed after 3 hours of music listening. 
A GPU for CUDA offload would probably help here, but so far I am good with what I have. 
PS I haven't tried xtr filters, not sure I even need to given the facts above i.e. I am at the very edge of it already.
