The project is still on pause.
But for the four that were made, I get only rave reviews.
adding myself to the list.

From what I have heard it could me more than 12months before AK4137 devices are available again - that's a long time and everyone will have potentially moved on so I think it is best to close down this GB and open a new one when there is some assurance that it could proceed.
Sorry to disappoint.

Hi, nautibuoy
AK4137 chips still have a large inventory in China, but AK4137 chips are only willing to sell at high prices, each becoming $50~60. In other words, if you can accept higher prices, you can actually continue.
I am afraid that the supply of AK4137 chips will not be restored within a few years, because after the AKM factory was fired in October 2020, AKM has recently announced that it will abandon the repair of the factory, and will not consider whether to rebuild a factory until next year at the earliest. During this period, AKM will only commission other factories to produce DAC chips that are in greater demand. Therefore, the time for the AK4137 chip to resume production is far away.
Maybe I can serve everyone.
However, when I commissioned the factory to manufacture the DSD'it SRC4192+AK4137 board, I encountered some troubles. They said they couldn't understand which of these two inductors should be purchased, so the current manufacturing process has stopped, so I need to know the specific values of these two inductors. thank

Everything is ready. Is anyone interested in sharing the cost together? All components will be soldered on the board by SMT without KA4137, each board is 35 US dollars, and KA4137 depends on the actual purchase price. The price of KA4137 is between 50 and 60 US dollars.
Therefore, the group buy can be excluding and including KA4137, which are 35 and 85-95 dollars respectively.
The unpopulated PCB without any components is 10 US dollars.
International postage is 20-30 US dollars with the tracking number.
In order to get an SRC board, I asked the factory and the price of the components. Now I finally know why Ian's board is getting more and more expensive.

KVM has not yet announced the construction of a new factory, and even if it wants to rebuild a factory, it will take two years at the earliest, while TSMC's 5nm factory in the United States will take three years.
Chipmaker TSMC eyeing expansion of planned Arizona plant -sources | Reuters
For KVM, the fastest way to resume supply is to commission, for example, TSMC foundry, but the current foundry capacity is very tight, which is why the new generation of PS5, Xbox Series X have been launched for nearly a year, and now It is still very difficult to buy and even threatens the production of car factories. When semiconductor production capacity is tight, foundry factories will only give priority to the production of relatively high-profit mobile phone chips, and the lower-priced KVM SRC chips may be difficult to resume production.
The price of flagship mobile phone chips can reach 100 US dollars.

Chip shortage will last beyond 2022 as demand far outstrips supply, Intel chief says

GOOD, We finally accumulated an order for five boards including myself. I will send a message to you. After the money is received, I will place an order with the factory for manufacturing. It will take about 15 days to get it done.
I need to purchase the required components first. Additional orders can be added before the factory actually starts production. You can also join within the next five days if you are interested the GB.
