why so many benchmark dac1's on audiogon?

I am looking to upgrade my digital front end

my phillips transport Audio Aero gave up the ghost and is too expensive to fix

I bought a nice audio research cd2 - may use it as a transport

I eventually want to go to an alesis masterlink or tascam or other and do 24/96 recordings off my analog rig

I read the sterophile review, see a lot of the benchmark dacs here on audiogon.

I would be interested in the usb version
the pre isn't going to be as good as my dedicated pre

any comments on why there are so many on audiogon?
good sources to buy from?
would want cd and usb inports

I'd prefer the black model
audiotomb

ALL components have a short time they seem to be everywhere. Then they will be gone.
That is the life cycle of all components. I have been hanging around here for a long time. A LOT of posts of this type: WHY so many XYZ?? and then they drop off. I would hazard to guess it is a mystery, like Lemming migration. Anyway, don't worry about it. If you own one, it will become as rare as it should be in a month or so. If you want to BUY one, now is the time, as next month you will see none.
