Dirac is a very forceful dictator that takes almost full control of your system while removing most of your control in the process. It auto tunes for crap! It created a giant hole in my center channel and then laughed at me when I tried to fix it. It threw my front height speakers out of phase with a horrible frequency response, it set the wrong crossover points on almost every speaker, all the levels were way wrong, and I'm sure it set the distance wrong as well but it's measured in mili-second not feet, so I can't be totally sure about that.
The software gives the option to manually EQ, which would be nice if it actually worked! This garbage recalculates every adjustment and just makes up it's own, so it's about pointless to even try. Yeah I really quite hate the stuff, if I had paid for it separate I'd be demanding a full refund! But, giving credit where it's due.... Dirac did a great job on my sub!
All I ever need or want is just complete and total DSP control of my system. All Dirac does is remove my control and force me to accept it, and well, I do not accept!

It does it for the bass from your loudspeakers then uses the bass management in the AVR to calculate and integrate it into the system.
You would need to add DLBC to give them the credit.
BTW what Dirac and systems like it do(software/algorithm) is not measurable, not going to show up on a graph.
FYI if you don't like what Dirac does, you definitely won't like much better RCs like Trinnov/Room Perfect especially for the cost!

It's basically the same AVR, there would be no real audible difference.
