Denon DP-S1: any experience with it?

A denon dp-s1 transport in very good condition is going to be available for sale. I have good memories from the only occasion I auditioned it ... but it was a looong time ago.
A few questions:
- how does its performance compares with other transports, like the ones from wadia, cec, ML ...
- when was the production of the DP-s1 discontinued? (the model was launched on 1993)
- are there any reliability issues with this transport? Does denon still keep spare parts for it?
- What would be the fair price for such a unit? (it was one of the latest units produced)

Thank you in advance,

I have the Denon DP-S1 & the DA-S1 D/A converter and the pair's sound quality is out of this world. Bleeding with incredible build quality and the red book perfomance is second to none. I am considering selling the pair at some point on Audigon. Denon only made 55 pairs in the world. The AT&T glass fiber connection link connecting them is very rare indeed!
