I've got a Minix headless pc kicking around with Windows..might be worth exploring running this as the processing pc. Any thoughts what sort of processor is needed? I seem to remember Roon dsp requirements require min i5 level..the Minix is nothing special...
I think it depends on what you want to do with it. I upconvert Redbook to DSD128 and use one of the more complex filters, a lighter noise-shaping algorithm and also a bit or EQ, so I've had to complement my old i7 with the graphics card.
Redbook to PCM only should be more straightforward but i5 is probably a must.
Perhaps you could ask for help at the Computer Audiophile forum, there's a lifelong topic about HQ Player.
