Digidesign makes a NuBus board called Sound Accelerator.  It is based on the
Motorola 56001 (same chip as the NeXT uses) and seems very well designed.
The technical specs claim "1024 point FFT < 4 ms."  There is an article
by the board designers in the current issue of Computer Music Journal.
Digidesign offers developer discounts and provide utilities to integrate
DSP code into your Mac programs.  I recommend checking it out.

I have no affiliation with the company and I own one of the boards.
