I'm looking for the best microcontroller and codec chip for capturing CD quality audio (8-bit, 44.1khz sample rate). The microcontroller would preferably have internal support for USB and a memory card format.
At the moment though I'm starting simple since this is my first foray into audio devices (and I'm not all that experienced with embedded devices anyway), my first milestone will be converting to digital audio and then converting straight back for output.
I know Maxim do a couple of good codec chips, but I'm not sure where to buy them in a package good for prototyping (or already mounted to a PCB with pin headers available).
