Should be okay

I've found SlimServer doesn't use much in the way of CPU resources at all. The exception would be if you do a rescan of your library. That takes up almost 100 percent CPU on my machine. But when just streaming music, I only get very brief bursts of about 5-10 percent CPU, going back to almost nothing. Foobar seems to use a steady 5-7 percent CPU or so on my machine playing FLAC.

If you're using some special foobar plugins like Secret Rabbit upsampler or some kind of room correction, CPU usage could be much higher.
