Reply to comment by Nadeoki in Is this min-maxing obsession or are there benefits to be had by tweaking things on the OS or digital side and using 'audiophile' footers? by Orangutan_Ulti

The processing requirements to render plugins doing multi band eq and compression in real time on 12 tracks at once are much higher than like, rendering an mp3 if that's what you mean.

No I meant, why are you benchmarking with the computationally most easily decoded platform to test system performance when codecs like Opus, transcoding in real-time, into multiple streams does in fact require <some> processing power. I run a Plex server and all my Music is being transcoded to Opus C-VBR 150 to multiple end-users on the same PC I use as Daily Driver for gaming and rendering tasks.

I'm not benchmarking, I'm just making the point that rendering audio well is very very very easy.
