i have installed several of these for work and this is a great deal you get Dirac included at no extra cost and a full set of pre-outs for adding more amplification of needed.

the only downside to this is that is does have less flexibility in crossover settings,. if this is a feature you would like more flexibility with then look at the sister product (Onkyo TX-RZ50 currently $1199)

How does this compare to the Onkyo TX-NR7100 that was on sale for $529 last week?

I'm sure the sound is close, this has pre-outs though and I'm pretty sure the Onkyo doesn't ..

the onkyo 7100 ($899) is the equivalent to the pioneer 305 (On sale now for $649) model. It has Dirac without pre-outs
the onkyo RZ50 ($1,199) is the equivalent to the pioneer 505 model (On sale for $749). It has Dirac with pre-outs

Where did you get it? I'm looking for a free return shipping or physical store in case this doesn't sound good in my listening area

I just bought Denon 3800H for 1k and upgraded to Dirac for 250. I can send both of them back and get this for 750? What would you recommend for the $500 swing?

More power, pre outs but this has global crossovers are a few things.

Here is a feature comparison of the two.

I am very curious how you are planning to get the $250 for dirac license. Do they have a return policy on licenses?

Will this be an ideal Receiver to drive the Klipsch RP-8060FA II Kit Adomara has on sale?

for an apples to apples comparison:

Pioneer 505 - $749
Dirac full bandwidth is included - $0
Dirac microphone is included - $0
Total - $749

Denon 3800 - $1000
Dirac full bandwidth is $349
Dirac microphone is $100
Total - $1449

So the price difference is $700, not $500. Options almost double the Denon price when making an equal comparison.

Differences are power rating 120w for Pioneer vs 105w for Denon. Sometime in 2024 Denon will add a Dirac bass control module (Not available on the Pioneer but adds another $499 for multi sub version). Or you may choose another type of sub EQ if you desire and not use this module at all.

Bang for the buck, you will have a hard time finding better performance than this Pioneer for the same money.

I believe not which makes it a wash price wise.

He also loses independent crossover setting, independent sub outs, all assignable channels, pre amp mode and if you believe Dirac is head and shoulders better losing the option to Dirac's DLBC would be an important big one!
