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.

Hooked this up today. I have 4 rooms in the house with various setups and AVR's. I have an Onkyo NR-7100, and 2 NR-686's. This pioneer sounds best. I haven't even done Dirac yet, just their MCACC option. It sounds fantastic. YouTubetv and xfinity finally sound much better and not nearly as muffled. I don't need to raise the volume to 60 to hear announcers during basketball games clearly. Idk if it's because this has higher power output or what, but a noticeable difference. I'm not an audiophile by any means, just a guy who likes being able to hear what I'm listening to clearly. Music sounds great. HDMI 2.1 is working on my Xbox.

Running a rp-504c, rp-8000f ii, and various in ceiling speakers. 5.2.2 setup.

Hi,

I ordered this from Adorama at $899.00 on 11/23 then it went on sale for $749.00, I called them and got $150.00 + taxes back (thanks OP). I have been playing with it, this replaces an old Yamaha AVR for 15 years that served me well and never had issues. I like the Pioneer sound, this my 1st and it has a warm sound that never heard before. So many options that I am going slow reading the menu but it was time for me yo update to a new receiver especially with a new TV. It sound very good and have not played yet with eq, Dirac live, etc... There is no perfect receiver, even the more expensive have issues. One thing I noticed right away is the difference in weight Yamaha vs pioneer. The Yamaha is very heavy and this half the weight. I am happy with my purchase and hopefully it lasts as long as the Yamaha.

He bashed its power output and shitty construction. He only liked it as a processor only. He had to pair it with a $700 amp to get positive results. Yikes! It's a black eye to the once great "Elite" moniker.
It's tough to take his review seriously when he recorded with a mic that seems to be from 1955... sound-wise. I just can't deal with the moms basement look of that room he's in also. I admittedly have no idea if his setup is good/bad/whatever, but that video was painful to watch and listen to.

I grabbed it at this price to replace my Yamaha RX-V679. It came yesterday while I was at work. I'm a noob as far as understanding the details of how this all works, but I plan to set it up with some new 14 gauge copper wire that I got to replace the 18 gauge cca that I used prior to reading about the differences in wires, and initially connect it to a bunch of speakers I grabbed off Adorama as well. 7.2 to start, with 7.2.2 as soon as I decide to pull the trigger on atmos modules. Room is pretty much a straight up square at 18x18, and a 7ft ceiling. Eventually I will replace the low end speakers with higher end stuff as I find deals. Hopefully that's a solid plan.

This is live again. Just got one. Purchased a Sony STR-AN1000 for 600. I figure for 150 more this is a better deal.

Lol. He blew up on YT years ago for his headphone and speaker reviews in a small apt. He bought a huge house and set up his system in that basement. Including audio trade shows, conventions, and meet up's, he's probably heard more gear than all of us combined. His adult fascination with those very young looking Asian anime girls spikes the creep meter, but I'd say he more right than wrong about his picks as to the better AV gear. He records his videos on a head mounted GoPro. His also posts audio clips of audio gear that he captures with one of those fancy portable digital recorders ✌🏽
