RE: Good board for audio + USB


90% of the digital audio players (which typically feature digital audio
and usb) out there use the cirrus design.

>From what i understand, the ipaq is very similar to the strongarm
reference designs, but i haven't played with it myself. The advantage of
the ipaq would be that it's available on the street and it's cheap.
There's also a big speed difference between the cirrus parts (which max
out at 90mHz) and the strongarms (which clock at 200mHz or so).
