I got one from the states off ebay.  Brand new - cost me about £70 - but
I had the luxury of someone who accepted delivery for me while on
holiday in
the states and brought the whole package over hand luggage for me.    It
comes in a huge box when its really barely bigger than a car radio.

Stu,

The DDAR is the same as the "Rio Receiver", so if you see _either_
advertised, then you're getting the same product. The only difference is
in the cosmetics - the DDAR is black, the Rio silvery-thing.

I'm not aware that ANY have been sold in the UK. Certainly, several
companies have ADVERTISED them, but always "had stock problems."

My advice would be to search the American sites, and find one that'll
ship to the UK. By the time you've paid shipping, insurance, import duty
(2%) and VAT (17.5%) then realistically you'll end up changing the
dollar sign for a pound one, and then adding a bit.

I bought 5 when Tiger ran them for $99 each. By the time I got them
landed, they worked out about £102 each. That was taking into account
the savings in shipping for order 5 en bloc.

If I were importing now, I would expect to pay up to £150 per unit.
Certainly, that's what I paid for the first, when Graham did his
original bulk buy...

The BEST way to get hold of some would be to "phone a friend" in the
States, get the friend to buy them, and then ship to you. This, however,
needs to be a GOOD friend ;-)

Hi All

Ive been reading/drooling about the DDAR's recently as ive just put in a
server to manage the ha in the house.  My setup for sending mp3 to the
hifi is not very good at the moment so id love to get hold of one of
these Dell products.

Fraid I came in to this a bit late so will I be able to get one of these
now.  Are they still not availble in the uk and if not is there a
similar product (with similar price) that will do the same thing.

At the moment I have the mp3 files sitting on the server with a pc in
the lounge and I manually play the mp3's using musicmatch.  It's a bit
of a pain though to start up the pc when all I want is to play a few
tracks.

Anybody help?

Thanks

Stu Worrall
