What's with all the Sony 5400ES units for sale?

I figured this unit was one hot item, if you read reviews and owner comments. So why do we see so many used players for sale? I've read that the break-in time is quite long, and maybe the satisfaction quotient makes folks give up on it too early? Or maybe this player isn't really the cat's meow we all hear about. Any thoughts?

I had the Sony and found it too clinical and hyper detailed. It didn't sound natural in my system so I sold it.

Now the Modwright Sony is the way to go and I would definitely consider that as a possible upgrade. I ended up going with the Modwright tube Oppo 83 and have been happy as a bird.
