PS Audio Directstream DAC Jr is discontinued - would you buy it now?

I called PS Audio yesterday.  They said they are not replacing the Junior but are building a “cost no object” new DAC that will cost $20-25k!   

They said Junior will continue to get firmware updates.

So would you buy the Junior - new or used - or buy something else?  How does it’s FPGA DAC compare to Chord Qutest and Hugo 2 or TT?

thanks.

I would not buy now a discontinued DAC unless I was sure I'd never sell it. Resale value takes a huge hit when models are discontinued.

@jackd - Yes, if bought used, it might well be a good purchase. I'd still rather have a current model -- but that's a personal preference.
