How fast is "fast enough"

[Tenacious]

I jumped to 68060 to play Mp3s through Paula and it still was lacking. Paula can do 14 bit audio, max.   When I finally found a MasPlayer, the 060 was inconsequential (I still like it, though).

The Amiga was designed around co-processing.  If you can run retargetable graphics and audio through improved hardware, then an 030 is very usable and the most compatible.

Thats pretty good!  It seems others have posted questions to get the same results with 68040s.

Don't get me wrong, I'm pleased that Amigas can play Mp3s.  I'm simply impressed with the MasPlayer.  They are available again, have excellent quality, low CPU usage, work with popular software, are reasonably priced.
