Smallest Computer Capable of Running HQP Embedded?

[AudioDoctor]

Something in an HDPLex case? Its the same size but you could use different parts...

 

I don't know Chris, I am considering this myself right now and think a desktop case, in my case the Fractal Design Meshify 2 compact, is the smallest that can do it adequately.

I just reached out to Intel to get a NUC11BTMi9 for review. I really think this NUC can do it, but am not 100% sure until I try.

Interesting, that's a form factor I was not aware of.

Look up the internal photos. It's really versatile. 

 

Impressive. Does it come with the skull RGB or is that optional? That has to give it one more modulator worth of effectiveness.  ;-)

 

It looks like Intel's version of a SFF computer like the Streacom DA2. I thought about one of those with an AIO as well to cool the CPU. I am not sure how quiet that would be though.

I have actually done that, but it doesn't upsample anything.

I have it running right now because for some weird reason I think the NAA on the OS sounds better than the NAA by itself, on the raspberry Pi4 thats plugged into the Yggy.

 

However... with no upsampling, I can use it to send audio from Audirvana to the Yggy as well.
