The Atari Falcon is the ultimate machine for decoding Project Stardust audio.

Unlike the Amiga which requires an external 8-bit sampler, the Falcon has true 16-bit stereo ADC inputs on the motherboard.
The DSP56001 processes the 44.1 kHz stream directly via the SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface) without touching the 68030 host bus.

Requires 4MB ST-RAM and an RGB or VGA monitor.

Too bad Atari marketing was so incompetent that nobody bought the Falcon before they pulled out of the computer market.
