A Riv IRD 9sp cassette is $68 and a Wipperman chain from Riv is $78. $146
for both.
Dura Ace barcons are $120 now, and just for fun I also threw in a $76 set
of Paul Thumbies to run them on the tops. That adds up to $196.
None of those prices were made up. It's just high end Riv stuff

All three of those models look like upscale alternatives to the Euxstar

I recently installed a Hetre on a brand new Synergy rim. No problem seating the
tire correctly so it looks like the example on Jan's blog post, but the tire
doesn't mount so that it's evenly round. That being said, I have the same
problem with Hetres on Dyads as well. I've found them very hard
