valve: Sep 29, 2007; That's well Jackson

I'm not massively familiar with the capabilities of the Arduino, but i'm looking to use one (or a similar microcontroller) for a project I have in mind. I need to read values for up to 64 ADCs (well initially i'll be building with just 8, but the final project will have 64), and then store these values and send them back out to the same number of DACs.

My plan is to drive it all serially, and develop it to have 8 chip selects, with each ADC and DAC IC having 8 devices within (the 8 chip selects bringing to total to the 64).

Is this something that the Arduino is capable of (even for the 8 channels), or do I need something with a lot more power?

(note: it's not an audio interface, it's reading data from a fader, and writing to a VCA for level control-- there is no audio)
