I have to set up a minicomputer to be used (along with a Marantz NA-S11) for the conversion from PCM to DSD On The fly, the hardware will be a Shuttle DS 61 but do not know which CPU to choose someone can help me please.
Thank you

A recent i5 should be enough. Maybe an i3 can do it as well I think it would be borderline.

My NUC i5 does it wonderfully.

And immediately thought, as did most old-school nerds, I'm sure... Minicomputer?  Like a still-kicking PDP-8 or something more esoteric and awesome?  Ahh, DEC, back in the glory days when men were men, and all coding was straight to the metal.

Hehe yeah. It put a smile on my face as it made me remember the ICL Mainframe I started off with during my internship.
