Well, the Microchip audio library AS IS is really poor IMHO.. BUT NO DSP sounds good anyways. If you work a little bit in the existing library... you may have a decent sound. The external hardware is still the key to improve it.
Some will say DSP is the way to go and it offer the best solution... but it's often the same kind of people who will say that MP3 sound is also good 
Audio is an analog thing, so the best way to treat it, is always in analog... but it's not going to fit in the same room and the pricing will never be the same.
You'll have to work few days/weeks/months with those DsPIC before getting comfortable with. I don't use them often but i do appreciate their power.
I can't vouch on any MikroElektronika compiler, i don't use them and i don't have them. And 'till now, none of my customer asked me to develop on MikroE compiler. Maybe one day. I heard they're better than before so far.
I love their development board... for the price and what you get, NONE on the market beat them.
18F send garbage because they have their limitation. They're not dedicated for that. 24 series could do better.
Most of the time, you find better match with existing Dsp solution + simple microcontroller (12F, 16F or else) for about the same price, and save development time. At least Ti and ST do some nice one.
if you want to do a simple audio spectrum, analyser... you should have a look at TDA7416... half job is done and you get a free eq with

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
