Aura Note - why such low resale?

In my search for integrateds with onboard DAC, I came across the Aura Note. It gets superb reviews. But, I notice that used ones in great condition are going for cheap - under $1000 for a component that is $2400 brand new. That is far greater depreciation than I have seen from other components. Can anybody comment on why that is? It also appears that the warranty is only 60 days - maybe that is an issue.

I believe that a new Aura Note is coming very soon.It will be virtually identical with more connectivity options(additional USB connectors and another aux. input).This may be a reason that the older units are selling cheap.If you don't need more inputs the older units could be a terrific buy.

Never heard of them. There's a good reason. And since I've never heard of them, my next question would be; "I wonder if they'll be around next year?" Then, they might be made in China, in which case I wouldn't pay a dime for their product. So, there you have it.
