Laptop Specifications To Play DSD Files

Hi,

Looked at the task manager while playing JRiver with a dsd file, I run a benchmark, the Surface is 2021 plus 1.20 ghz and i5 CPU, as I'm not sure what I should look for I've added some screenshots, my guess is it may not have enough power ?

Are you using DSD bitstreaming or doing a DSD conversion? If the latter, then nope, probably not powerful enough. If the former, bitstreaming actually uses very little resources to do, as it sends the data as-is to your DAC to decode and not doing any sort of conversion.

A screenshot of MC's Audio Path while attempting playback of a DSD256 file might shed some light.

Hi, DSD Bitstreaming selected as recommended by ATC, two screenshots, 12 is an DSD 256 21 is a 192 Flac file these are the type of files that buffer, other standard files play fine with the same settings.

That's a fairly low power machine by today's standards.  Do you have another machine you can try?  Just to try to isolate where the problem is.
