I can answer some of the questions here as I've had the 3800 for a few months and added Dirac. In my room and setup Dirac was a big improvement over my own post-Audyssey tuning. That said, if you have the time, patience, and interest, there are cheaper ways to get most of the way there. I feel the price of the software and mic was worth it.

I came from a 3500 and liked it a lot. This has a better UI, including a 4K OSD and much better HEOS screen. I don't really get the complaints about the look of the volume meter. It's simple and functional and looks better than the one on my 3500.

I run a 5.1.2 setup in a 16 x 20 room with Focal speakers and an SVS sub, and I have more than enough power to make listening uncomfortable.

Wowsers, $1k for a new non-refurbished 3800? That's what I'm talking about. Maybe by Black Friday this year I can afford it... Congrats to everyone who will be getting it now for this price.

so you're going to keep the Marantz or get this Denon?
I'm debating getting this denon . I was eyeing a marantz cinema 50, but debating this killer denon deal . The question is if the marantz is worth 1200-1500 more ?

"Free" Audyssey with the $20 app can be made to sound like Dirac.
Which $20 app ? Not too familiar with dirac, but everyone online seems to say it is much superior.

found the app thank you

How much of an upgrade would this be over the Denon AVR-X1700H?

Nice price. Still very happy with my 3400...and in what has to be a cost saving measure Denon eliminated the front panel HMDI input on the 3800. Quite disappointing as I use it frequently.

Quote from turnne :
Then that is your preference and should be stated as such...not referenced as something that " most people" have stated

Yes..there are preferences. I personally have had probably the best reliability and best customer service with Yamaha products...so I can understand that

DLBC is not available in a Denon/Marantz product now
Additionally, as I said before, I dont think all those add ons of DIRAC and the needed mic make sense at this price point

If I was on a tighter budget , and wanted Dirac, I would buy the Onkyo. if I liked the Denon I would buy the Denon and use Audyssey
My opinion was based on your opinion when you said "people prefer the Onkyo" and looking back on why people choose Onkyo.

True DLBC isn't an option now for D/M but it will be, unlike the RZ50.

You don't think Dirac's RC integration algorithm for subwoofers "add on" is not "needed"!
I definitely disagree as a matter of fact the several people I know that use Dirac use BOTH.

As I pointed out Dirac's new RC algorithm (ART) everyone is raving about piggybacks off of DLBC, sounds pretty "needed"!

I think this is overkill for my purposes. But, I am hoping someone can help me out with what exactly I need in terms of all equipment not just receiver.

Presently I am doing a lot of yard work expanding my deck as well as a covered seating area. The covered seating area presently has two polk atrium speakers (smaller ones). I plan on adding at least two to four speakers for the deck and pool area. I'd like to be able to have different zones and volume adjustment for each of the zones. Perhaps 3 zones in total. I am also adding a tv for the covered seating area and I would like at least that zone to play the tv audio. Right now I have an amp that sucks but I am thinking I will need a receiver for earc to get the tv sound to play on the speakers. Just trying to figure out what I need.... does not necessarily have to be in surround, but certainly stereo. Can you guys help a brother out as I am a novice.

Also what I have been using is an Amazon echo dot via Bluetooth to the amp that is inside with speakers ran through the wall outside. So, amazon music is my audio source. I'm sure that isn't ideal but it gives us a full library of music.

Thanks for comment- I hadn't looked at price for dirac bc license - that's higher than I'd be willing to pay at this point+

I thought it was funny that after months of searching I finally pulled the trigger on RZ50 from Amazon when I saw 1099 price yesterday afternoon ... Then I see this deal and start questioning everything again
Sure yea it comes down to which features are important to.

As good as both Dirac RCs are it does not mean XT32 is bad, IMO it's very good also.
So you're not required to buy Dirac.

Me personally I'm glad Denon isn't making me pay for Dirac & like that I will eventually get both.
I have no problem waiting for a deal on them.

I would agree and you could even do Audyssey X for $199 to even more minutely smaller difference.

I have 2x JBL Studio 590s, 2x Studio 530s and a Studio 120c. Would this receiver be a good fit?

I got this receiver swapping my x4300h to power a 7.2.4 setup. I have to say it's pretty buggy with my 120hz devices. Not build at the same quality as my 2016 receiver either. Great price for it though.
