[sdiy] Searching WM8731 in SSOP-28

[Mike Bryant]

Unfortunately we live in scamming times.  That’s the other advantage of AliBaba/Express – they are so huge they will deal with scammers and refund you themselves rather than lose reputation.

Sure, Octopart we have checked, but a-source is a good and new one to RFQ, thanks a bunch.

Unfortunately there are more and more reports about brokers popping up on the market that are just pure scam. And sometimes they somehow even seem to make it into Octopart, for example https://www.trustpilot.com/review/infinite-electronic.com

Have you looked on octopart.com<http://octopart.com>? I see them available at some independent distributors/brokers, and at least you have a better chance of working parts than on Ali. Prices are through the roof though.

If you are looking for a broker, I can vouch for a-source.nl<http://a-source.nl>.

Dear List,

this is my first post and I'd quickly like to introduce myself: My name is Max and I run E-RM here in Berlin, Germany. We are a 5 person boutique manufacturer for music electronics. I have been reading here for almost 6 years now, but I have to leave silence at this point with a request for help:

We kind of got all right through the global part shortage, but now it recently struck us for our polygogo module - we can't source WM8731SEDS anywhere for our next production runs before next year. I know that this part is used in a few other modules, for example Mutable Instruments, so I'd like to the chance and ask:

Is here anyone on this list who has some stock and would be willing to sell any? Or has any advice for trustworthy brokers? Or... any other tips?

Any help would be really much appreciated.

Thank you very much,
Max
