Is the Reimyo CDP777 Being Discontinued?

A friend heard at the CES that the JVC transport is no longer being made. Does anyone have any information about this?

So the fundamental question is: why discontinue such a great transport when there is still demand for the CDP that incorporated it? Can someone from JVC or Combax/Harmonix please explain this?

I guess after 4 years of Reimyocdp777 on the top (at least one of top cdplayers around) there's the need for a new Reimyo cdplayer maybe based on an esoteric neovrds mechanism? or other custom transport?
