[sdiy] SSM2164 Ordering

[blacet at blacet.com]

Just a heads up on this.

I sucessfully ordered a large quantity in DIP off the Analog devices
website and UPS has it as being delivered today.

Previous communications from Analog Devices announced "last time buy" for
this IC but the website no longer says this. For this order they listed a
delivery time near the end of January, but this was obviously not
accurate. They also previousy mentioned porting the fab over to a newer
process as the  old process was obsolete.

While there is a domestic source for small quantities of the Cool Audio
clone, getting a large order directly out of China is proving difficult
and expensive.
