This or Onkyo tx-rz50?
I have been asking myself this question for a while. I have a spare amp and 2 speakers for atmos (not installed) so that's not an issue. Eventually I decided that I don't know if I want 2 or 4 atmos speakers but a 9.2 model like this integra restricts me to 2 whereas the 11.2 processing amps give me the option if I want to install a second row of atmos speakers.

On the subject of atmos speakers in general I've read that you need a good source otherwise you don't gain much. Which makes me wonder if something like Dirac can help to fill that gap.

Here my take from personal experience.

This can do 4 "atmos" speakers, the configuration would be 5.1.4.
11 only comes into play if you wanted to do 7.1.4.
TBH in the average home 4 is all that's needed.

This is because of the placement of all the speakers plays a crucial role in optimal performance.

Good source does matter but the quality of all your speakers and optimal placement of them is just as vital.

As a matter of fact, if you can't/won't do the proper placement suggestion here, Atmos may not be worth the upgrade/cost imo.

A good/optimal 5.1setup can easily compete with the popular Atmos alternatives.

Anyone having problem with the app not detecting the device? I plugged the mic into the front then run the app and got no wifi devices detected.

I find using Dirac is incredibly user unfriendly. Is it because I'm using the iOS app? What does everyone else use during calibration?

Thank you.

I've heard a lot of ppl say good 5.1 beats an OK 7.1 arrangement. But having recently gone from 5.1 to 7.2 (2 mono subs) i love the added effects I get from the rear surrounds - most obvious in rainy scenes. My basement is open plan and at least 2-3x bigger wider/longer than my viewing/listening area - I used an online design tool to get my speaker placement and listening position about right and ran a calibration. Honestly the only thing that would make it better would be being allowed to crank up the volume - I'm nowhere near ref levels.

In my experience the reason people often say that is an optimal 7.1 in the average home is a bit of a challenge.
If you can't follow this setup, it's probably not worth it over 5.1.
Two pairs of Atmos placements is pretty much mandatory for optimal performance imo.

It does start with content and it often varies in quality widely.

With a proper setup & quality content object based soundtracks is a game changer imo.

TBH IF all your speakers are full range/reference quality, tackling your room environment would be the next best thing.
It's often overlooked for many reasons, but it will definitely make a significant improvement imo.

I picked this up but ran into issues with Dirac Live. The Dirac Live app on my laptop can't detect the AVR. Firmware and software are fully updated, and there are no network problems.I noticed that the Dirac website only lists the DRX 5.4 and 8.4 as compatible, not the 3.4. I can run Dirac through the AVR menu, but it's limited to the included mic and lacks key features.I've seen mixed information online—some say the PC app doesn't work with this model, while others claim it does. I feel like this is a big deal because many people including myself purchased this model because of the Dirac Live compatibility. Has anyone successfully used the Dirac PC app with this model? If so, how? Thanks!
From their support site I found an article stating a response to a customer where support directs them to use the iOS application.

Thanks for posting shaddai, this had me a little worried because I just ordered an UMIK1 mic to do the more advanced set up via of PC. I was pretty sure I've read of others that were able to do the set up via of PC, this just confirms it.

I purchased the 3.4 during the previous posting here during Black Friday from Adorama. I was able to get Dirac to calibrate my speakers working with the latest version of MacOS, latest version of Dirac Live and making sure both my MacBook and receiver were on the same WiFi network. Connecting the included mic & opening the software on my Mac immediately detected the Integra with the steps to complete the process. Did not bother with the IOS app since many noted mixed reviews. Did not try the windows version of the software but I'm sure it would work also.

Is it possible to do a hybrid 7.1.4 speaker setup with two front height speakers and two Dolby enabled rear speakers? My rear speakers have the reflective cones built in on top but I'm currently not using them since my current setup only supports 5.1.2. I wasn't able to find any information about it online so if someone here knows if that configuration is possible with this receiver the help would be greatly appreciated!

This only supports 9 channels, you would need 11 channels to do that.

It will support a 5.1.4 setup, here is the configuration. Not a lot of difference than the 7.1.4 one.

The challenge is getting your seating far enough away from the rears for optimal reflection.
