Ayre wants $1.5K for DSD'ed QB-9

I actually did read through the thread and found no pertinent information to answer my question. Perhaps you can answer as authoritatively about the actual price and when it will be available? -

So perhaps I missed it, but is Ayre now doing the QB-9 upgrades to DSD and is the price REALLY $1500? If so, how long is the wait list? -
My experience was similar, I swapped out a Shunyata Anaconda Helix for a Black Sands Silver Reference and couldn't believe the difference. The Black Sands (at about 1/3 the price) was a clear standout - much more detailed and lively. Of course the same power cable swap on my amp gave the opposite result - the Black Sands was way too harsh. So I settled on running the Anaconda on my amp and the Black Sands on the QB-9. I'd be interested to hear what other people are using on their QB-9.
