HQplayer 4 and Mac-mini M1

[scintilla]

I'm not inclined to go back to intel at this point.  As much overkill as the M1 ultra is for my desktop use, when I replace my only computer used for business, pleasure and HQP, I am going to go with the (almost, 48 core) best Apple offers. My current late-2012 i9 iMac is still very useable 10 years on.  It handles 7ECv2, 128x, poly-sinc-short-mp-2s  w/convolution all day long.  So, if I decide to do multichannel high-rate DSD in the future, I chose to spend well and won't need another machine; hopefully for another decade.  And I can write it off.

Just bought a Mac Studio Ultra .. running HQ Player with the following setting : very smooth with no issue at all ...  In term of fan ... damn quiet .. can't hear any even with my ears so closed to it

Good Lord man, put it to test already!  See what it is capable of at the top end.  These settings are pedestrian and already attained with lesser M1 chips.
