No link at this time.  I read about it in my copy of the Absolute Sound.

I have not seen the published review yet, but the pre-published text of the review I have been sitting on the past two months certainly has been encouraging.

I can tell you it was done by Anthony Cordesman, who is not easily impressed.

Three very positive reviews now, Audiophilia, Parttimeaudiophile , and now The Absolute Sound.  One more in the works, AV Showrooms which will be a video review.

So what are you waiting for now?  Just got 20 more M225 amps in from my builder so quick delivery is available right now.

I saw the review in TAS also; Frank is quoted as saying the DVA225 is based on the old Dyna ST120 rebuild from way back.
I owned that rebuild 20-25 years ago (driving a pair of Sound Dynamics 300ti's), and in some ways it was the best amp I ever owned;
with very sweet, natural mids/highs and great dimensionality, though at 60 wpc, not a lot of power/current drive capability. I believe
TAS reviewed that ST120 rebuild about 15-20 years ago and loved it. Some used it as a mid/tweeter amplifier in a biamped system
because it's such a sweet sounding amplifier. I'm intrigued with the DVA225s-
