>Hi,

I'm using Microchip DSP development systems to prototype my stuff on. Their systems are complete, and "plug-n-play" out of the box, and have enough horsepower to handle real-time implementations. The nice thing about development kits like these is that you get a ready to go system that doesn't require any extra interfacing, like input/output buffering, buttons, switches, jacks, plugs, power supplies, etc - as this can be very time consuming and make or break your project. Believe me, its worth spending a few extra bucks and know that your getting a working audio platform where the only thing you have to worry about is writing code and not whether you've hooked up a clean circuit that reproduces good audio.

I'm using this: http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Microchip-Technology/DM320011/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMvSXb74l/16x9ikc%252bqp%252bUUC

It's $150 - cheap by development kit standards and works great.
