I'm trying to figure out what a good DSP unit would be to try and learn how to do some embedded programming on? I would like something relatively inexpensive but that still has a decent amount of "kick" to it performance wise. I was looking at the TI ez-DSP but I don't know what to think of it.

I would like it to be programmable with C or C/C++

I would Prefer 32 bit or higher.(if possible)

Fixed point math.

Something in the Ghz clock speed.(once more if possible)

Support for hardware modulo would be a plus.

I know there are many other considerations to take into account and some of the things I have specified may not be possible to get all in one unit especially at a low cost.

I will be using it for Audio Processing and Audio Signal Generation So if a unit exists that is either compatible with ADC and DAC units or has them built in would be good.

I am open for any recommendations or any advice at all.

Thanks In advance, Alex
