I take it it is the interface/driver board you're saying is £150 to get made in UK? If so, you would still need a interface/driver board even with a DSP as the DSP doesn't have the drivers built-in. If the only place you have found to make the board charges £150 for the board, you haven't looked good enough. There are many places where you can get the board made a lot cheaper than this, but it may or may not be in UK, but does it really have to be made in UK?
