Convolution Processing Time MC30 Slower

I’m using Anubis and HAPI Mk2. Fantastic solution.
Yes, multiple NADACs can be synced together.

Very cool. This all makes a lot more sense now.
You do a solid job with AudiophileStyle.
It was incredibly refreshing to find your site back in my early days of audiophile learning maybe 13 years ago. My whole problem was there was a serious lack of crossover between older 'audiophiles' and computer audio nerds who refused to even entertain certain audiophile 'theories' that tend to be harder to quantify and thus it was quite hard to have a serious conversation without talking to someone whose feet were firmly planted in one camp or another. AudiophileStyle kind of bridged that gap. Obviously nowadays even the old guys are really coming around to digital, 'computer centric' audio but back in like 2008, it was very different.
So the Anubis in your situation serving as just the monitor controller?
I assume the quality of the D/A is excellent on the HAPI? I see them pop up on Reverb now and again and they're darn tempting.

Thanks so much for the kind words. Much appreciated.
Here’s a little article I wrote about the digital side of my system. https://audiophilestyle.com/ca/immersive/the-digital-side-of-my-immersive-atmos-music-system-r1128/
Anubis is like a digital preamp. Volume control at my listening position and input selection. Out to the HAPI Mk2 with two DA8P cards. Excellent DAC!
Here’s a walkthrough of the system. I need to have the JRiver guys over for a listen.

But now it seems that MC processing time for convolution filters has gotten worse. Here are two screenshots. You can see the processing speed and my CPU, which really isn't that stressed. The speed of convolution processing has finally gotten so slow that it dips below 1x and I'm getting dropouts.

it's probably interesting to try it on different hardware so can you share a sample of your setup? i.e. a short excerpt of the track (10s or so?), the filter file(s) and DSP config (DSP > Presets > Save to File)

Extremely impressive setup mate. Thanks for the detailed writeups. I love your approach to Atmos. For me personally, there isn't really an alternative to the control and flexibility offered by a PC, and thus, I pretty much require decoded audio. It seems quite restrictive relying on a pre-pro for this stuff when you have the skills to do on your own. You're locked into that specific DSP and have no access to the processing power or software improvements that a PC based source can provide.
That's pretty much how I assumed you had the Anubis setup though, maybe this is incorrect but do the audio streams have to even go in to it so to speak?
I was reading your write up and I guess my question is, can't the audio stream go direct into the HAPI with the Anubis just telling the HAPI 'hey pick this stream and here's the volume / channel trim to use'?
It's essentially inconsequential because your system clearly works (and the Anubis is a gorgeous control surface regardless).
The reason I ask is because I'm curious if a system like this would be fine WITHOUT an Anubis if I wanted to integrate my own software controller to handle volume, source selection, etc.
