You can get burr-brown chips for free.
Here is how:
Go to bb's site (texas instruments) and register for their 'samples program'. Then you search the chips that you want. Now you can click 'order samples' and order up to 2 chips of one type. You can order a total of 8 chips for free.
There are nothing suspect by doing this. They actualy give the chips away for free AND send them anywhere in the world without charge.
I have ordered DIR1701, PCM1742, DF1704 and PCM1702 and they arrived 3 days later by UPS (I live in Denmark).
The only 'drawback' is that they are SMD components.

SMD stands for Surface Mount. So, you don't drill holes for the pins like normal hole-thru components. Also, they are rather small and therefore hard to solder.
I suggest you try some of the SMD soldering links listed at epanorama.net.

Btw: Analog Devices also have a good samples program.
