Seeing as how Emotiva uses AKM chips in their G3P's, I thought this would be of some interest to the Lounge community.

12 months is optimistic if they rebuild. Doable if they relocate.

specifically, what emo products use their chips? I am slow on abbreviations.

I believe all of their new processors use these chips, AKM 4490 if not mistaken.

I believe the new Arcams announced use these DACs as well. Maybe not the same models, but they are AKMs.
