I looked into their stuff not so long ago. Came to the conclusion that Direnza a basically an importer of cheap Chinese parts - the quality of which has already been discussed on here and elsewhere. Sometimes it's pretty good and you get lucky, sometimes you don't and you have to buy twice.

Direnza might claim they hand-pick their suppliers based on the quality of their products, removing that uncertainty. But the sceptic in me says just pay a little bit more from a reputable supplier.
