I am fairly heavily into Hi-fi car eqpt, and spending $600 on a piece of hardware is not really all that much. Whether or not you can hit a market will depend on whether the hardware you use to build it will be high enough quality to be used in high end systems, because those are the kind of people who would spend that kind of money. I would definatly not skimp on the DSP that you use, it can make a big difference in the background noise. How would you tie it in with current stereos? FM modulation or RCA outputs would work, but digital optical outputs would cater more to the high end eqpt, which could easily raise the price into an unreasonable range.
