You should likely read this thread, then direct your questions there. There is no question that HQPlayer can tax CPU & memory, when I've trialed Euphony with HQPlayer up conversion to DSD256 with an i7 NUC  it takes a while for playback to start and DAC sync is intermittently lost. Have had no issues using Euphony

with its PCM up conversion to 706/768 on i7 NUC but do like what I hear trialing HQPlayer DSD up conversion a bit more.
