70% CPU Load when playing any audio file

(1/2) > >>

Hi All,
I'm on MC 27 latest releases (also happens in previous releases) - using any DAC I am using (Zen DACs, K5 Pro, iBasso D01,02,03,04), when playing M4A, DSD, FLAC - you name it, I see the CPU load jump to 70%+ during playback. You stop it - it goes back to normal. I don't do any DSP stuff. Bit Streaming DSD is enabled.
Even when doing DSD Bit-streaming.  I also have Audirvana 3.5.x and the same files I play using the same DACs when played, Audirvana consumes 0.8% CPU.
I'm on Big Sur 11.1, MacBook Pro 16",2019.

Any ideas what is going on ?

Thanks
Tal

zybex:
Which process is consuming the CPU?

JimH:
What is the full version of MC?

Double check DSP and Bitstreaming settings.  You may be converting DSD.

taltalon:
- No DSD conversion - checked - I am Bitstreaming DSD. I confirm native DoP to all my DACS.
- The process is Media Center - 70%+

Tried with Media Center 27 Releases 27.0.44 and 27.0.39 -no change...
