connecting 8052 to adc and dac

hi,
i was wondering how to connect an adc and a dac to a 8025 (DS89C420). do i
have to use the two UARTs or it's better to use the "raw" i/o pins? what i'm
trying to do is a sort of audio filter: the signal is converted in digital,
read by the 8052 (where the fx are applied), and sent to the dac.
moreover i'm using BB's PCM1802 as the ADC and PCM1744 as the DAC. the
problem is these are all stereo adcs and dacs. do anyone knows about
audio-oriented mono adcs and dacs?
thank you for your help, CAFxX.

You need to check some basic maths first.  The PCM1802 I believe operates at
96KHz sample frequency and 24 bits.  Assuming you can use a serial input
and take three lots of 8 bits for each 24bit sample then you need to
receive three samples every 1/96KHz secs or 8 bits every 3.5 microseconds. 
That's pretty damn fast for an 8051 but within the speed of the DS89C420
assuming the serial ports can go this fast.

On this basis I would say bit bashing via raw i/o ports is definitely out
and your best bet would be the serial ports.

Off the cuff, this sampling rate and resolution sounds like one hell of an
overkill for audio. Audio CD's are sampled at 16 bits, I think, and not
nearly at such a fast frequency. Also, processing and re-outputting the
audio through a ADC at 96K doesn't sound realistic, although it might be
with a super-fast 8052. What are the norms for audio recording and
processing, in regards to resolution and sampling freq? -- Mike

Audio CD's are 16 bits at 44.1KHz, but 24 bit @ 96KHz doesn't
sound unreasonable to me, for professional gear used in studios.

SACD, super audio CD for the home user, is 1 bit at 2.8224MHz,
yes MHz. That's even more information pumped through. I have
no idea what mastering equipment for SACD uses.

Anyway, I don't know what a fast 8052 can do here. Even if it
is capable reading/updating the ADC/DAC, what can be done
with the audio bits, in the time left...

Except that 24 bits is a s/n ratio of 144db.
I wouldn't be able to make a piece of wire
have a s/n ratio of 144db (:

Me neither ;)

Perhaps this is a product for people with very discerning ears ,~)

The poster did ask for suggestions.

Microchip makes a line of ADC's, and a simple DAC is just a bunch of
resistors. If the OP would be more specific about what it is he is trying to
accomplish, that would lead to better suggestions.

1bit @ 2.883MHz *is* 24bits @ 96KHz, that's what SACD uses.

The 8051 the OP specified has a 30nS instruction cycle - it's the fastest
8051 around.

I thought he was quite specific. He wants a single channel of audio in,
apply effects to it in the digital domain and send the result to a DAC to
recreate analogue audio. The 24bit/96KHz bit only came about because I took
the trouble to look up the chip he said he was looking at using.

I meant specific in terms of quality. I used to work in the toy industry and
"quality" often meant "barely intelligible".
