RE: Ever thought about remote controlling the cMP setup through smart phone or tablet?

[I] have been thinking a lot about headless, but with more simple mobo like FitPC. Maybe new generation can handle upsampling @ low CPU-frequency. Since PCI is almost 'legacy' it would also mean change to usb-dac or usb-I2S/SPDIF interface.

cPlay uses the SSE4 instruction set when upsampling to 192KHz but Intel Atom processors do not support SSE4.

A 1.6 GHz dual-core Atom is plenty powerful enough to upsample to 192 KHz but you need to use the likes of Foobar to do it. Even a one GHz, single-core Atom can upsample to 96 KHz using cPlay. The restriction is not one of speed.


There are several Intel-designed, mini-ITX format motherboards with a PCI slot, including one (more expensive) version that uses a 12-volt supply only that is particularly easy to run off a linear PSU.
