I found a website review of the Dared i30, not as glowing of a reference as might have hoped; the site is in Greek - and can be translated page by page using Google Translate. The review is located at http://www.avmentor.gr/reviews/dared_i30_1.htm - written by Dimitris Stamakos at avmentor.gr : also there is a distributor website at - http://www.daredtube.com - (try - translate.google.com - type in website address, tell google translate fr. greek to english) Seems there have not been reviews on post 2009/10 models? The photos in the review show the use of a plastic board for electrical circuits, rather than direct wiring, moderate toroidal transformer in the middle hump, dac built-in, no remote, and author provides electrical tests on the unit.
