A three day for at AKM's Nobeoka factory means a six month plus shutdown, and a lack of DAC chips in the medium term.

I can't find if they're were any casualties in the fire, I sincerely hope not.

There's a distinct possiblity of AKM outsourcing some production capability, but there's no doubt this will affect the rapid fire market of high performance DACs.
