RVV does support 64-bit float multiply and add 
Many DAWs are working in 32bit float and it's working just fine. In what way do you mean it's limiting?In my limited experience as a DSP implementer my take is what's really needed is fast 64bit (or wider) floating point, notably trigonometrics and of course you typical multiply and add. At work we rely much on SIMD but currently only with 32bit floats which is really somewhat limiting.
No, I mean as in node based programming, where you can do node networks to program whatever you want to program, something like Sigma Studio. Haven't used this one in particular, but I've been doing lots of graphic stuff with nodes and it really is so nice to work with!

You need SigmaStudioWhat's wrong with ADAU1701? It's dirt cheap and there're quite a few boards out there, including fully assembled unit from Wondom...
Ummm, I don't see a problem, since it's free + you can download editable projects so you don't need to create your own from scratchYou need SigmaStudio
This is like the whole problem, it's not open source and only works on Windows so if you're using a Mac/Linux/Android device, you're cookedUmmm, I don't see a problem, since it's free + you can download editable projects so you don't need to create your own from scratch
We aren't talking about open source here...This is like the whole problem, it's not open source and only works on Windows so if you're using a Mac/Linux/Android device, you're cooked
So, this is a clickbait, yeah?I'm getting fed up with how there are absolutely zero (0) options in the market for a cheap and simple DSP device that can just apply whatever effect I want and be done with it
It runs fine in a VM, assuming an Intel/AMD platform.This is like the whole problem, it's not open source and only works on Windows so if you're using a Mac/Linux/Android device, you're cooked
This is not a solution, nobody actually wants to use a VM just to run some junk proprietary software, and if you had an iPad, you'd still be out of luckIt runs fine in a VM, assuming an Intel/AMD platform.
Nope, since you can still only use the effects SigmaStudio gives to you, but my DSP platform will let you write and run anythingWe aren't talking about open source here...

Nope, there seems to be a algorithm designer for certain DSP chips.you can still only use the effects SigmaStudio gives to you
Oh please, no sane person would ever use an iPad as a DSP code development platform.This is not a solution, nobody actually wants to use a VM just to run some junk proprietary software, and if you had an iPad, you'd still be out of luck
An iPad will run a Windows on Arm VM just fine thoughOh please, no sane person would ever use an iPad as a DSP code development platform.
OK, but I don't know anyone who is keen on typing on an iPad, or any tablet for that matter. It just sucks. Real keyboards for real programmers ;-)An iPad will run a Windows on Arm VM just fine though
But I think the whole point would be code-less DSP configuration.
For only the small sum of € 359 you can get a real keyboard and trackpadReal keyboards for real programmers ;-)

These RISC-V cores handle 64-bit vectorized floating point calculations just fine. “Designed for some OS” has very little to do with this."Fast 64bit (or wider) floating point" capability would be one of the great advantages in using modern CPU designed for Windows PCs and Mac PCs, I believe.
Yes, but SIMD (vector processing) supports 32bit floats only on current Intel platforms, as far as I can see.Yes, essentially agree with you, and (almost?) all of the presently-available excellent software DSP tools on PC and Mac do work using 64 bit floating point numbers, right?
AVX-512 can handle 8 64-bit floats in one instruction. And then we have AVX, AVX2 and SSE2. All can handle 64-bit floats.Yes, but SIMD (vector processing) supports 32bit floats only on current Intel platforms, as far as I can see.
