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

The DSP56001 processes the 44.1 kHz stream directly via the SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface) without touching the 68030 host bus.
The 14.2 Hz peak shows up as a bright white vertical line against the blue background noise.

Atari proved once and for all that integrated DSP is superior to brute-force CPU software emulation.

Atari Falcon vs Amiga 1200 flamewar in 3... 2... 1...
