I have two of the Lyrtech boards and with the develpment tools for DSP 
chip and FPGA.  Using Matlab simulink, and code generation, etc. for 
rapid prototyping  this is just about ohh,   one hundred grand..

The Matlab is shared license at work as is the DSP and FPGA development 
tools but this is well out of reach of most.
