Atkinson re Ayre C5xe

I've looked at the data in the Audiogon Blue Book and the going rate for the Ayre C5xe seems to be trending down to a bit over $2500, so I thought to try to pick one up. But then I read a comment by John Atkinson that he rarely uses his anymore, instead downloading music via computer. I value his opinion, so that gave me pause given I already have an Oppo BDP-105 and Sony XA5400ES. I also have a Mac Mini connected to the Oppo via the asynchronous USB port with Audirvana on my iMac, but I've been slothful about getting computer audio up and running.

So would John Atkinson advise me to forget about buying an Ayre C5xe? I suspect so.
