Hi Serge,
Why would the Select II DAC be discontinued a few years down the road when it is entirely modular in its design? Best digital source I’ve ever listened to by a longshot.

Ken, for the same reason you see the "discontinued" and "new" dacs on their page. :D Isn't it obvious? If you were selling audio gear, would you want to sell modules to upgrade the DACs from a few years ago or a brand new DAC from $10k to $90k every few years?
How long would you stay in business selling modules to keep your products fresh? Why are there so many new products coming to the market every year if the one from last year was the "reference grade" item?
It is not just audio but everything around us that has to be "obsolete" to keep the profits flowing.
