Someone of a DIY Facebook group I belong to contacted CoolAudio, they're still making chips and don't have any plans to stop production of delay chips anytime soon. Have you contacted CoolAudio themselves? This is a pretty nasty rumor to be spreading otherwise (one I'm guilty of propagating myself
)
