That's on the low side for multi-channel DSD.  The recommendation around here is a JRMark of 2000 for stereo DSD, and more is needed for multi-channel (around 3k).  I don't have any DSD files to test with, but if you search the forums you'll see other folks with specs similar to yours having difficulty with DSD.

Some folks suggest doing the conversion of the file offline first and then playing back the converted file as on the fly conversion is what causes the load.  Here's a thread with advice: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=91616.0

FWIW, you probably don't need an i7; a modern desktop i5 procesor (not a NUC) could probably handle it.  The NUCs use laptop processors, which are lower powered.

It's a little low.  OK, not great.  Fine for ordinary audio and video.

anton-sa:
aha. one of my desktops. an i7 2600k. scores +-2800 on the math score.

my lenovo laptop. thinkpad t530. with i7 Q.... quadcore.. scores 2339 with math and 2760 with jrmark

If only the recommended specs were on the forum or website somewhere easier to find... i would have bought the i7 nuc.
now i sit with a $500-$600 machine thats not quick enough.. i could have shelled out an extra $100 for the i7 version..

kodi plays a high bitrate 1080p movie with dts master audio 96khz multitrack soundtrack. and doesnt go about 15% cpu per core...

Hendrik:
As odd as it sounds, SACD Multi-channel is more expensive to play than a 1080p movie. Thats just how it is.

Recommended specs are a very hard thing to post anywhere, as it greatly varies depending on what people want to do. Not everyone wants to play Multi-channel SACD, and if you exclude that (and maybe DSD in general), an audio only device can get away with much much lower performance requirements.
