CDP's being dumped for hard drive driven units?

I may be mistaken but the past few weeks (months?) it seems some darn nice cdp's have appeared in the classifieds, at prices that are more and more attractive. Is it a sign of the economy, or are more 'philes moving to a hard drive music server? I don't know the answer, probably no one does but is this a trend noticed by others?

It seems to me that the niche would be a good SACD player with a "digital in" that could properly handle a usb signal from a computer.

I don't know the specs of every SACD player w a dig in but I don't think there's one out there properly converting a usb signal. Right now, one would have to utilize a converter (ie.: Hagerman HagUSB USB to SPDIF Converter, a Empiracle USB Off-Ramp Turbo 2 USB to S/PDIF converter, or a Trends USB converter).

It would be nice to have a one box solution for Redbook, SACD and computer.
