Has anyone heard that ARC discontinued the Ref CD-9SE?

I just noted that a dealer member is offering an ARC CD-9SE for sale.  The ad mentioned that ARC discontinued the CD-9SE.  Has anyone else heard the same?  

Kinda' interesting since ARC released the SE version of CD-9 sometime in 2019.  Just guessing here, ... but it may have something to do with Phillips having discontinued manufacturing the Pro 2 CD transport.  Or perhaps, ARC may think that the CD media is passe and they squeezed as much juice from that media source as they could.

If so, ...onward to streaming.      

Thoughts??
