means the only sensible place to do DSD processing efficiently
 is in silicon; either FPGAs or ASICs. 
 ooo, I've been meaning to get one of those!  Can you (or anyone) point
 me toward a FOSS-friendly FPGA? 
 Sony used to sell a line of HW modules for DSD processing some years
 ago. Not sure if they still exist - I'd be surprised. 
Ugh, no I just want an FPGA to play with and do whatever: make a DSD
processor or maybe an evil atomic powered robot.  Anyway, I was just
wondering if anyone can tell me of any FPGA's that are made by
Free/Open-Source friendly companies.

I basically just switched topics randomly, there, ahaha sorry about that.

But about the Sony thing, you are talking about the Sonoma? or
something else?  Haha, I think the Sonoma is out of my price-range
(for now...).  Besides I hate Sony, (although I"m thinking about
buying a PS3. hahaha Anybody wanna help me write a Wii emulator for
PS3?)
