One day I might upgrade too 7.1.4 (or 7.2.4), but for now 5.1.4 sounds pretty amazing!
The quality of your speakers and their proper placement is more crucial for optimal performance.
Just adding more speakers doesn't always mean a worthy improvement in my experience.
Not to mention the added cost to do so also.
Keep in mind if you mainly stream, it is a major drop in audio quality!
Not sure all this is would be worth it for mainly streaming.
You're not really taking advantage of it in my experience.
DL uses/relies on the AVRs bass management to correct/calculate/etc to do it.
People love to infer that it does but Dirac disagrees, their description of what DLBC offers is specifically for subwoofers after all.
Even in that belief a common inference is, it does it for one subwoofer. So for two you would need DLBC anyways.
The 3800 now includes their version of DLBC, Directional setting and it works pretty well.
The reviews for Adorama delivery have not been very good. People report boxes in which items are shipped being trashed and electronics damaged.

Measurements say this isn't good for 4 or 6ohm speakers.
Some owners say they don't hear any issues and are content with it.
You could buy it from GT(see link above), possibly no tax & usually authorized dealer.
perhaps most importantly, i think that both of those receivers are limited to only one sub signal out(split into two connectors), so if you want to run multiple independent subs you'll have to spend more to do it, and jump thru hoops to make it work.
that's a pretty big drawback for such pricey gear, and since there isn't any competition the industry is having a field day defining brand differences by crippling different feature sets.
be sure and do your comparison homework.
How big a deal that is depends on many factors.
It will be interesting to see what DLBC does in this scenario.

Often tax is included with GT also.

See the pic below from a Denon 3800 that only has Dirac Live (no DLBC) but still has Bass Management (highlighted by yellow box). There is no RZ50 user who can show the same pic and I highly doubt it will be enabled via firmware!

It will also be interesting with the RZ30 on whether they believe DL now offers DLBC for two subs or do they get DLBC! 🤔
The plot thickens! 🫣

DLBM is not part of DLBC, Dirac tells you that.
AGAIN if that's incorrect please provide proof! 🙄
The reason the 3800 has DLBM and the RZ50 doesn't is because the 3800 has the option for DLBC and the RZ50 does/did) not….. Dirac explains this also!!!
AGAIN if Dirac is incorrect please show us proof!! 🙄
Like your other conspiracy theories that this wasn't capable of DLBC because of some "bug" or it was a "hardware" issue you will be wrong AGAIN! 🙄
