Analog gauges are a gorgeous marketing concept ! Although some would say that CPU load is too global and that per core load is desirable... There's a whole concept there: does a CPU load in the red right hand means anything in terms of SQ ?

My main concern, though, would be that such a server built with HQPlayer in mind could not play HQP at SOTA, that is ext2 or Sinc S filters, ASDM7EC modulator, SDM 256 output, not to mention full range convolution. Does it ?

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough when I described this as a two PC system and this is the audio endpoint that's the NAA? 

what do the gorgeous gauges read then ? the CPU GPU etc load of the endpoint or of the horsepower PC ?

The gauges in the endpoint display the resource utilization of the endpoint. The high power server just might have gauges that display its resources as well, but my lips are still sealed on this one. 

Pardon me then for I was far far away of awareness that a GPU was required for a NAA endpoint and furthermore that its load (and CPU's and RAM's) monitoring was critical...
