Hi
Please be careful when ordering V9958 (Yamaha VDP) from AliExpress. There are many vendors selling fakes. I have ordered several and ended up returning them for refunds because I cannot seem to get a legit item.

You can tell if the V9958s are fakes if they have a notch and are date codes 2703 2122 IACC. See this article below for more information:

I have asked vendors to send me photos of the actual V9958 and occasionally they do. I have detected fakes this way and canceled orders. However, I can confirm by actual experience these chips are fakes. I have tested on the duodyne Media IO board. It works fine with a real V9958 but does not with a fake V9958.

Good luck!
