...and I suppose they could do much more under HARMAN.

They presently have the Nucleus and Nucleus Plus. These are basically just PC servers with different processing power. The Plus model can handle more challenging DSP operations but some folks like me don't even use the DSP. I use the occasional parametric EQ (DSP) to bump up the bass and treble to simulate the old school LOUDNESS button when listening at low volume levels. This hardly requires much CPU performance but some sample rate conversions and on-the-fly PCM to DSD conversions are more taxing.
