What Hacker News says

2 sources
RP2350 pico can pull off a few classic tricks cleanly with the unique io dma design: https://github.com/codaris/picovga-cmake The sync'd DMA is so fast it also often replaces hard to find PROM chips with simple emulation (could pull this off in a fgpa for 10x the price too): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAh021jgGgs Most of the ESP32 family includes a dedicated audio i2s interface bus, and doesn't drop out on interrupt like most mcu DAC naive polling offers. It also hits well over 16MHz SPI transfers with ease. STM32 is in most volume equipment now for a reason. Microchip screwed everyone on long-term pricing, and clown priced themselves out of key markets. Note, an inaccurate LLM-proxy reply makes people sound lazy. =3
