I have this. Bought it for this price. Love it. I still find it suspicious that it's going for like 40% off of MSRP less than a year after it was released. Are not enough people paying to upgrade to Dirac so they gotta make it more tempting?
Btw, when I zoom my projector to cinemascope I can no longer see the volume OSD on screen, whether it's on top or bottom. My 2019 Denon had a bigger volume bar for the OSD and I didn't have this problem. I contacted Denon and they responded with boilerplate not helpful advice, so I have have to use the Denon app to change volume when I watch movies. 1st world problems for sure.

I apologize for the potential that my comment has to detail the conversation. I am weak and take bait easily.

If you're asking if this receiver can.
No need for an external amp it has 9 internal amps and can expand to 11 channels.
Whether that power is worth it depends on many factors like your speakers & how loud you listen.
Having auditioned both within my setup, I probably would have to say yes.
I would point out my speakers are 6ohm/89 sensitivity full range speakers, all 9.
Using an external amp I did not hear $700-800 sound difference, hardly any at realistic levels.
When I upgrade I usually end up with the 4xxx series, could not justify it this time since I use my AVR as a pre pro.
They made the 3800 to good for my situation.

The RZ50 has gone down to this price, if that's the one you want it should go on sale soon.

#1 the RZ50 will not get the option for Dirac's DLBC, Denon will.
#2 the 2 subouts on the RZ50 are mono, all 4 on Denon's are independent.
3800 has a number of features.
4 independent subwoofer
Bass shaker support
Possibility of DLBC support ( not yet guaranteed)
Auro 3D. With the recent support for Atmos layout this is my up mixer choice ( sometimes even for Atmos)

All channels are assignable & pre amp mode. I would also add Audyssey's directional sub calibration.
As far as DLBC, everything points to it being a done deal, only question is when in 2024.
Here is are a couple of examples:

I tried out new Sony and Onkyo receivers this past year when looking to upgrade my Denon 4500. None of them -- which he raved about -- were nearly as good in my experience. I ended up going with the Denon 4800 but I'm sure if you can't afford or have a need for it, the 3800 would be a far better choice than the comparative OnkyoPioneers which are basically the same exact AVR with minor differences.

I would add if you use external amps, the difference between the 4800 vs this, it's minor especially for the price difference.
