That's not what I meant. I just wanted to say that this discussion is
probably off-topic for the list.

And why is that? The list I am talking about has some top-notch
professionals on it, who designed some of the best pro audio equipment
in the world, some of them I know personally.

No, that's not the point. The point is that when you are not worried
about profits you shouldn't be worried about satisfying every market
driven reqirement either, especially when you know that the requirement
has no other base besides achieving higher profits.

How much experience do you have? I am doing this stuff for living BTW.

I wasn't promoting anything, I simply gave an example of an FPGA based
board already on the market.

And how does that help? Perhaps I don't understand what application
you keep in mind, but since the project name mentions mobile studio,
that's what I kept in mind when discussing this.

I don't understand how they are not a problem if they are expensive
and if you are trying to do everything cheap....

Personally I don't listen to commercial music, but I don't understand
what you are talking about here... Sample rates?
