Maybe if they come back with the 30% I'll bite.
I was also hoping that they would provide 30% off again this year, but I'm still happy I don't have to pay the full price.
Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank IasonK
But honestly cant say I have heard anyone with the same scenario
I know there are some AVS forum members that have sold their equipment, and they let the license ( typically DLBC) go with the product to the new owner
By the way, if that Pioneer 805 is on your short list you might need to make a decision quickly
Best Buy shows sold out and I have seen another e-tailer with " discontinued" for the product on their website

Why? If you're coming from a Denon/Marantz unit, you have to pay for the basic DL license (either FB or LB) before you can even get think about DLBC! I understand the narrative that the price was lowered but it was only lowered for DLBC and not the basic DL license! Consider the following for a Denon 3800:
Black Friday 2023:
DLFB - $327.32 - $98.20 (30%) = $229.12 (what I paid before tax last year)
Black Friday 2024:
DLFB - $327.32- $69.80 (20%) = $261.86 (again, before tax)
For me, if I had opted for the single DLBC/DLFB bundle last year at the 30% off, I still come out ahead compared to this year (I have no use for multi-SW DLBC so the undiscounted price remains the same for DLBC this year for me)!
The best deal is for Onkyo/Integra/Pioneer owners who have a multi-SW system that would have otherwise paid for a higher starting license fee last year!
If you have more than 2 SWs, this is where the 4800 shines and the possibility of getting ART by Fall 2025 (last I heard). Very little chance that the 805 gets ART, especially since the 505 is not DLBC eligible, and the Pioneer license was pulled from PAC.
If you held out and wanted the bundle, good move it's less expensive than previous years.
Personally DLBC is the main reason to switch to Dirac over Audyssey.
A1EVO tossed this comparison on its head.
Having used both(own the bundle) the difference is so minor Dirac isn't worth the cost anymore imo.
I give Dirac the slight edge and again mainly because of DLBC.
The difference is pretty minor & not worth the cost imo.
Especially on the latest D/M models that have the option.
They have Audyssey's new directional sub setting. Works under the same theory as DLBC/ART and others.
Now that Dirac is offered at these mid level AVRs and if you always wanted Dirac.
$480 for the bundle is very well worth it imo.
If you have no brand preference, will rely on internal power only and want/need Dirac, the LX805 for $1499 is hard to beat.
The sale is back BTW.

Does that change your recommendation?
