Aurora DSP

[sal_cats]

Hi,

I'm keen to buy an aurora DSP board but they don't have any available on this website - https://auverdion.de/produkt/aurora-dsp/.

I gather there is an issue with the AKM chips.

"""
In the fall of 2020, the AKM factory was destroyed by fire. As a result, neither ADC nor DAC are currently available and no Aurora DSPs can be produced. Alternative solutions are currently being worked on if AKM cannot resume production in a timely manner.
"""

I wondered if anyone knows anything more about this and when they may be available again or if anyone has one or more for sale?

Cheers

Both AK4458 and AK5558 used in Aurora are in AKM's production recovery schedule, and are set to go mass production summer 2022.
The AKM representative local to my town disclosed that "confidential" schedule 2 months ago while I was enquiring AK4493S engineering samples.

AK5578 are available now on Digikey. It is software and pin compatible with AK5558 but with better specs.
