So how big is your s/w load on your boot drive?
And which OS are you running?
Musicboy has a NµC running winblows that runs his standalone and dedicated music system feeding into his AOIP that feeds his Theta DAC.
The single biggest component is the display with his NµC stuck on the back.
Very tidy and even transportable enough to bring to meets.

There's 20gb left (actual usage is 58gb, so I've used 40gb on Windows 10/HQPlayer/Rednet Control/Dante/Audinate). I had Audio Optimizer (AO) loaded, and even though the number of processes was reduced, the CPU usage jumped from about 20% to over 40%. Sound wise, there's no difference with or without AO.
I'm doing the same as Musicboy, except I run mine using Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) from my 13" laptop. Physical size is very small as well.
Latency averages around 1.1 msec @1.6GHz
I'd also like to comment on how well the D16 response to it's input source. There doesn't seem to be any bottleneck from the D16 at all. I'm not sure if this is because replacing the internal SMPS with an external LPS is just that much better.
