oops - I see I put in the wrong link (although one of the reply-ee's found it)
it should be this one for the DSP http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/tms320vc33.html the D/A chip that I was referring to is the TI one too ... also tried to find the the TI D/A chip on Mouser and Digikey and got the obsolete designation as well. I am not surprised that there is a big batch of the TMS chips coming. That's what they do: announce upcoming obsolescence, get an idea of who wants how many and then make one final big batch and no more after. I doubt anything in this fast moving technology is designed for a long product life. Its basically cell phone technology that is driving the market and they try to sell me a cell phone every two years. I believe that unless I am unlucky the chips in my K3 will last longer than I will. However, I have never bought a rig before that had obsolete parts in it when I opened the box. But that is the way things are these days...
