Everyone is selling their Ayre QB-9 DSD's??

Awright, what's up with this? I know first hand how good the DSD version is okay? What on earth are people going with if they are starting to dump their QB-9 DSD's? Just really, really curious. Maybe they are moving up to DCS or EMM level of stuff? Or, If there is something out there that is beating these that much I would really love to know what it is.
Thanks.

Could just be more people coming to terms with the fact that the sound quality difference between a $500 Dac and a $3500 Dac is very small relative to upgrades like better speakers or adding room treatments and they're just going to put a bunch of money back in their pockets. Or it could be something else.

I've heard several Dacs using the ESS9016 and they all sounded wonderful, so I'm sure the Ayre is a fantastic Dac as well.
