I assume that AKM is moving to a "better" chip (maybe the AKM 5383) Does anyone consider this to be an issue. It might have an impact on the first question above.
I wouldn't worry about it. Digital technology moves so quickly that by the time the upgraded chip is on the market, AKM will have something else that will be recommended for new designs. It is a little disconcerting that the processor that I took delivery of a few days before is already outdated though.
