EMM XDS1 upgrade

The XDS1 V2 has been discontinued for some time - the remaining Esoteric mechanisms in stock at EMM Labs were used for the limited edition TX2 transport (Esoteric is not even selling its lowest level transport to third parties now so no more transports). The V3 was never available for sale, only an upgrade.

Would be great to hear from someone who has received the upgrade.

$5K with shipping seems like a large amount for a discontinued product, even a wonderful player like the XDS1 V2. Also must consider that replacement transport mechanism may not be available in the future if needed. Have to think about it.

It’s an Esoteric transport, so it should continue to be available, no?
