Can the audio community use such a board?
Probably yes :-)
Will they help in producing the feature set and
design?
Probably yes. I would as far as I can.
What features would it need?
For me:
* operate at 48 and 96 kHz.
* 8 / 16 / 24 analog inputs (line level, balanced)
* 8 / 16 / 24 analog outputs (line level)
* top quality converters and analog circuits
* fixed and calibrated audio levels
* support for RMS and peak metering
* XLR or stereo jack connectors
* no on-board processing, mixing, etc required
* optional ADAT interfaces
* optional AES/EBU interfaces
What would they pay for it?
Whatever I'd pay for commercial hardware of the same
performance and quality.
HW required
- bus interface (PLX)
- FPGA
- some memory
- codecs
- analog cirquits
Nothing fancy really.
