The DSP chip in the K3 - TMS320VC33PGE
(as of Sept 2008 per TI) 
is Not Recommended for New Design (i.e., obsolete)
and a "lifetime buy" order is in effect

http://focus.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tms320vc33.pdf

the potential replacement (TMS320C6727B) is "similar but not functionally
equivalent" - whatever that means.

The D/A converter is listed as obsolete and no longer available.

Should we be concerned ?
