Best CPU for hqplayer

[mtan002]

I just changed over to an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X on Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite from Intel i5 6600K on a Asrock Z170 OC Formula.

 

The change is not subtle. With HQPlayer on Sync-M and poly-sync-short-mp, the Intel struggled at 50% CPU. With the AMD, the CPU usage is 14%.

 

My DAC is a Topping D90, I changed the rate to 44.1 x 512, no sweat, CPU is at around 25% and no drop-out.

What a platform for HQPlayer!!

Can you confirm if ASDM7EC works up to DSD256? With Multicore DSP set to auto (grayed) or fully enabled (checked).

 

I'm thinking of upgrading my fanless i5-7600T machine to 3700X on B550 motherboard to be able to run ASDM7EC to DSD256 at 65W TDP (Streacom FC10 case).

I just ran your config. Sorry it didn't work. Dropped out every few seconds. Multicore DSP on auto.

No issue with ASDM7.

I lower to DSD128, still no good.

Any difference if multicore is set to fully enabled?

 

I used BIOS to overclock by about 10% and the ASDM7EC on DSD128. It still drops out though not as frequent. It stutters every 10 second or so. So no good in my view. I went back to ASDM7

 

Cheers.
