Microchip shortage possibly delaying new models
This was news a few weeks ago in the audiophile community. AKM in Japan had a massive fire that wiped out most of their production capacity. I had only recently purchased an outboard DAC using their latest proprietary chips. https://www.converge.com/resources/n...-factory-fire/
Being one of many OEM producers, perhaps this is one of the reasons for insufficient production capacity elsewhere.
It appears that mobile device companies have vertical production whereas automotive requires outsourcing for touch display ICs.
