The designer of both the Timeworks Lex90 clone for Creamware Scope and the CSR-1 reverb stated at another board that he had to change the algorithm to run on a CPU. He said the chips on the Creamware cards could do stuff that would take way too much CPU-power (probably not because the DSP chips are more powerfull in general but because they understand different instructions). I think it has to do with the simple fact that PCs are not dedicated audio hardware. There is definitly no plugin around that I've heard that comes close to my Lexicon hardware.

BTW, I think the most important tool to make a mix sound good is EQ.
