It cut the video short because of file size limitations, but the power draw is quite consistent between multiple ons and offs.
I am streaming music from Tidal on my desktop, sending it to a Tascam sound card

And into a mixer, which in turn sends it to active Adam speakers

Is the increased power draw what it costs the CPU to stream and decode, or what it costs the Tascam to do it's work, or both, or something else?
Edit: I have no idea why the sound was removes from the upload...
