Where do you buy your chips?

Where do you guys buy your chips these days?
Any recommendations for a good reliable source for op-amps and dac-chips?
I am specifically looking for AKM 4396 chips.

Seeing as you are in Norway you should talk to Acte, they represent AKM in Scandinavia. If you are only looking for a few chips (< 5), try asking for samples.

Good idea, Cauhtemoc!
Thank you for the tip!

When it comes to samples AKM is not equally generous as NS, TI and AD but you can always try.
