When it is running core, decoding all files to PCM; decoding DSD and encapsulating hi-res into MQA I would expect some machines to feel the strain.

Some folks will also have their NAS doing other duties so the variables increase.

This all takes Sooloos use outside of the closed system that it has been so far (ignoring QNAP store for a mo). As a closed system M could spec the units with reasonable confidence.

Will be interesting to see what the recommendations are.
