Excellent reference, thank you.

Support for Ethernet, PWM controllers, wireless communication features, CAN support...

I was also looking at the DIOPSIS devices.  The data sheets for MCU are hundreds of pages long, and the data sheets for the DSP engines are even longer.

All I need is a fast enough device, with or without FP multiply, and some high quality audio converters.  That example you mentioned uses separate converters.  That seems like a good idea, considering the quality I want out of this thing.  The USB connectivity I lack a need for at the moment, although in the future it would be an option.
