The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.

AKM makes a lot of ASIC's for audio applications.  I have digital Behringer gear with AKM IC's in it.  This will be widespread across the industry.

Fortunately, TI (Burr-Brown), Cirrus Logic, etc also make competing parts, but redesign doesn't happen overnight.
