So it's not just a myth, but a false myth?

??? No, it is a myth and it is not true.  You can call it one or the other or both.  What is a false myth?

Not on my system it doesn't. I just ran DSD 64, 128, and 256 - each in both native and DoP. Same track for each rate of DSD.

Virtually no difference in CPU load reported.

And just to pile on.  One can do those DSD sample rates in multichannel (6 mostly) without any significant processing burden on a competent player.
