It's not just high, it is insanely high.
Using Windows and related optimizations tools as well as JRMC and then on top of this highly questionable setup one of the cheapest NUCs as Abe is pointing out. Hmmh.
And that's not all.
The steep evolution in this area is still ongoing.
You probably can such a device write 100% off in 2 years from day of purchase. Do you really want to waste that much?
And then it is just a transport. It just delivers bits.
I'd love to compare my $100 transport based on Raspberry PI + iPower PS and free of charge Linux based audio distro against such a device.
(You don't need to be an engineer to get such a setup going)
The money you save, better use for a DAC that's pretty much immune on incoming distortions. The better the DAC the less impact will have the
transport! Perhaps Steven has a nice recommendation for you.
Enjoy.
