And the included Dirac Live does manage bass. According to Dirac Support:
"Yes, standard Dirac Live has always corrected the subwoofer response, taking advantage of the AVR's Bass Management."

Found of these open box ( excellent condition complete) at a Best Buy outlet for $550
I have to say VERY impressed for a midrange receiver.
Even in a smaller room with some bookshelf and satellite old Mirage speakers Dirac RC sounds good.
Been using this receiver since it was first released. It's been amazing in my dedicated home theater. I'm running 11 speakers and a sub off of it (with a 3 channel amp). I wouldn't even call this a mid range receiver. It's more high end.

Yeah, you're one of the lucky ones!
I picked up mine for $673. It was in perfect condition, but missing the microphone The neighborhood BB manager wasn't able to do partial refund, or a return/rebuy at a lower price to compensate me. No matter though, I got a UMIK-1 for Dirac anyway and didn't need it.
Topping PA5 II (not the 1st version, but the second version)
AIYIMA A70 (yes it's the "A70", not to be confused with the A07)
Fosi ZA3
Dirac is awesome. My system sounds great even without wall treatments, speakers too close to the walls, and a big chair in front of the front left speaker! LOL
But for the life of me, I can't figure out how to connect the RZ50 to Google to use it as a Chromecast. Google Home searches for a new Chromecast device but can never find it.
The Onkyo app is surprisingly good. Easy to use. And you can easily switch to 3 different Dirac profiles. And you can play music from a very wide variety of music sources, all without turning on the TV.
But no Youtube Music for me because, again Chromecast isn't working Grr!

Agreed
I knew the amp/power supply was not this units strong point. Its as if they built it to be a be prepro if you were going to run more power hungry speakers or listen at reference levels.
The 28lbs of the unit somewhat gives that away.
Otherwise I assume they think you will step to the RZ70( or its Integra twin) and get the much more powerful amp/power supply and better DACs
Both units, IMO, are stellar picks even at their MSRP
For me it was 100% impulse buy. I was trolling the Best Buy outlet in Cincinnati, when I was there working for a few days. I saw this unit(and its price) and thought how could I go wrong.

I bought one during Christmas and returned it. I have 4ohm Martin Logan speakers that the Rz50 was struggling with. I went with the Rz70 instead and it didn't have the sane problem.

I bet! the RZ70 is a great receiver. I'm jealous of the recent firmware update that enables you to turn off the front 3 channels of the amp section if using the pre-outs.
But $2,800 is a tough pill to swallow for some.
That's why I went with the RZ50 with an external amp instead

I picked mine up for 1999 from NFM. Some folks got it less than that in December. There is an SD thread for it.

The amplifier is suspect. [audiosciencereview.com] So I picked up a Topping PA7 (used on Amazon for $260) to run the fronts. Sounds fantastic. Other amp options for SDers are:

It's a lot cheaper here guys
I figure if it's going to die it's going to die in a reasonable. Of time
