PS Audio Directstream Dac so many for sale?

I have one and have been enjoying it for over a year now. I upgraded from the Perfectwave Dac Mk2 and am happy with it but I wonder why there are so many for sale? Obviously there are better Dacs out there but for $3500 the DSD is a nice Dac. I’m not yet itchy to upgrade the DSD as it is a nice piece. It goes well with my Perfectwave transport and Auralic Aries G2.1 streamer.

It is being discontinued and replaced by a mk2 version. 
The latest Sunlight firmware release was announced as the final update for DSD and DSJ. 

The new mk2 (release date unspecified but probably not this year) has different fpga’s and some other hardware upgrades. See PSA forums for all the specifics

Also, when you sell a lot, there will naturally be more on the used market.

I am aware of the Mk2 version coming out but it will probably cost a fortune. I have a hunch the current DSD is worth keeping unless getting a serious upgrade $$$
