Or they exhaust the supply of cheap parts, whichever comes first.

Very common that devices have been discontinued for a while by the time there is a working port. As for what is worth it, usually people pick a device they like to work on.

Can't say anything nice about it.
can you fix a bad DAC chip with firmware or will it always be bad because its hardware?
