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.

Man, I bought this receiver and then installed 4 ceiling speakers to add to my 7.1 setup (had to buy a cheap amp for the rear heights) and watched Dune last night on HBO Max. WOW. That watch was everything I ever wanted surround sound to be. Unreal.
You should try it on disc, much better quality experience!
That disc is pretty good reference material of object based surround!

Dirac is room correction software. Basically, you hook up a microphone and it sends out test signals and listens to the sound in your room and then it generates filters to correct problems in your speakers in your room. Most current receivers include some version of this now, and this Denon X3800 includes built-in another advanced software for this called Audyssey. However, Dirac is the current latest and, by most accounts, best of this type of software.

To use it on this Denon, you'll have to buy a calibrated microphone (~$1xx) and also pay for the Dirac license ($259-349). https://www.dirac.com/online-stor...vc-x3800h/

Some clarification, Dirac isn't the latest, it's been around for around a decade.
It's just been added to these lower tier receivers recently.

It's actually not the best Room Correction algorithm but it gets the most publicity.

Dirac comes in two separate RC algorithms, Dirac Live(loud speakers)and Dirac Live Bass Correction/management(subwoofers).

Currently only DL is available for Denon, sometime next year you will get the option for DLBC.

Yep, still rocking the x3500h I bought for $399, when they had those 20% earlybird coupons which stacked on top of sale prices !!. Miss frys :-(
I bought the x4300h for $675 new from Abt.com in 2017. Still works great. I use an old Nad t763 as outboard amp. Works great in my 7.2.4 system.

Explain what you think dialogue enhancement is doing and how that is a good thing for the original signal.
I don't have an agenda. But you certainly want to hammer the point. I bought 4 receivers to find what's best for me and sharing my experience. You don't have to agree with it.

At this price, it cannot be beat. I bought it at release and cannot speak highly enough about it. I run a 7.2.4 system it's been amazing.

Unfortunately people often make judgments on how something sounds, often without ever actually listening to it!

Listening for yourself is the most important part!

Much depends on wants and needs.

I'd keep the Marantz, personally.

Good deal on a 9 channel amp. Denon is a solid choice for audiophiles on a budget.
Whose budget? This is a $1k amp, definitely wouldn't classify this as "budget" Lol
