I like the C6713 kit from TI/Spectrum Digital:

http://www.spectrumdigital.com/product_info.php?cPath=25&products_id=113

Price is around $400, and you get a C compiler with no limitations
(except that it will only build code for the C6713 kit).

On past TI kits the compiler was limited in the code size that it would
produce. This would require you to spend >$1000 for an unrestricted
version of their development software. I'm not sure if the same is true
for Analog Devices based kits.

time.

Hi,

Whats the cheepest way to get up and going with audio sound processing DSP 
development.

I would like a system that I can connect to a computer with USB to program 
it, and have audio in and out connections,

I am a programmer and am familuar with digital and analogue electronics.

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron
