I purchased a used windows mobile device (PDA/Phone) on eBay for less than $100 and then purchased DAF software from SpeechGym.com for $40 ($140 total). I knew nothing about SpeechGym other than it was affordable and they had a Windows mobile version. The sound is not high-quality but it seems to work well. We saw immediate positive results from my daughter - priceless. Delay was set at only 60-70ms. Now we're hoping and praying for positive results over the long haul. Moral of the story - you don't have to pay a bundle to get a good Delayed Audio Feedback (DAF) device. As a bonus, the device I purchased is a cell phone with built-in .mp3 player and QWERTY keyboard - she loves it.
