DAR 5.1.0 using a lot of CPU
Since upgrade to DAR 5.0, I've noticed it is using more CPU than previous versions. Quite opposite from how it should be after becoming Native Silicone App.
I have no other app's open (Dadman and Eucon are on), no re-renders, Loudness is on.
Input is Dolby Audio Bridge
Output is Dante.

CPU usage hover between 43-48%
With Pro Tools on it jumps to about 56.

AFAIKR CPU was before around 30%

Are these high CPU cycles normal for this version of DAR?

I am on Mac Studio Ultra M1, 64GB, Ventura 13.5.2

    You could try turning off spatial coding emulation if it's on. Likewise the binaural monitoring can also eat up CPU. Around 50% doesn't seem too bad, even a top end Intel i9 is still between 15-25% usually.
