The load isn't going to break the CPU or cause stuttering. However the associated processing activity may degrade sound quality if the periodic noise generated by protocol processing and data buffer movement reaches analog equipment in the DAC and amplifiers. There are probably ways to measure this activity, but you will have to listen to sound quality to tell the extent that it matters. This situation is roughly similar to what happens when playing FLAC vs. playing WAV files.
You may also want to look at the Processes tab, including system processes.
