Esoteric DV50S, Any Plans to Discontinue?


I'm interested in upgrading my Mark Levinson No. 39 to the Esoteric DV50S. I'm considering this highly regarded machine for it's 2-channel redbook CD and Video playback ability. I don't do multi-channel audio.

I've notice the used prices falling for this unit, and also some retailers are agressively discounting the price on new players.

Has anyone heard any information about why the prices of these machines are softening? Or, the future of the DV50S? Is a discontinuation or model change being planned?

Thanks.

From the CES report on StereoPhile's website, Esoteric is still showing it as available. But where are all the Uni-Players going with BluRay on the way. I just bought the Denon DVD-5910 and didn't buy the DV50S to save the 1200.00 because I think the format is coming to a close.
