I had the same concern and I actually sent an email to Innuos regarding this. They gave me a following reply, I hope this helps:
Quote:Innuos: The ZENith CPU can handle most Roon tasks without any problems, including upsampling to PCM 24/192 kHz, convolution filters and Parametric EQ. The only exception is when upsampling DSD files, which can be too demanding on the CPU, but this is a rare situation. Anyway, there is still a big debate around the benefits of such heavy upsampling, as it doesn't always bring the best results.
