Really.....
.Please share a link to the Taiwanese website where you spent the time with the drawings and were able to determine the specific parts ( from the schematics) that the units share

I have to say , if you took all that time to find out that information then you are VERY committed

Meanwhile..here is a link to the RZ50/7100 owner thread with over 600 pages of posts from owners
Many of these people were on the waiting list at the very beginning in 2021 and paid full MSRP
https://www.avsforum.com/threads/...3/#replies [avsforum.com]
I own the Onkyo RZ50
From my personal participation in the thread for the past year, I would say that there is an extremely high level of satisfaction from the owner base for these units
I don't feel like listing all the other models (as I provided links in prior posts in their respective threads) but here are the innards of the latest RZ30 model:

I'm sure you folks are smart enough to get at the other models.
Peace!

That link does not prove any such confirmation of parts that you posted

But you know that.....

Again..no surprises due to already low expectations

Thanks again for the confirmation

For the time being, I'm going to stay away from PAC-related threads until I feel it's time to come back. I'm sure you and Warren (turnne) will be good stewards from now on. Don't let me down!

Really!!... well color me gob smacked Wink

All the time spent with speculation/conjecture/ pontification and frankly incorrect information

I was thinking it was a compensated campaign for you

So would you find it in heart to do it for SD in general!?
If not, how about AV gear as a whole? 🙏🏼
If not, maybe at the very least any topic regarding Dirac….. pretty please!🙏🏼 🙏🏼🙏🏼

This "deal" has been around for months. First at another authorized dealer. This is a repost. Its a good receiver but not a new deal and it has been FP multiple times for the same dealer.
It's the first time I saw the deal, and I responded accordingly. Is your position that this is not a great deal, because it's been available before?

How would this compare to my Marantz SR70008 for home theater use? Will there be a noticeable difference??

Alright….here we go. I know there has been alot of back and forth about several topics about this receiver. After having this receiver for nearly 3 months….I wanted to chime in.

I upgraded from a Yamaha TSR-700 - it is the Costco rebranded version of the Yamaha RX-V6A. It had YPAO (Yamaha's version for room correction).

I have a 5.1 setup and am driving (2) KEF Q950s for Front L/R, (1) Definitive Technology Mythos Three Center as Center, and (2) KEF Q350s for Surrounds. I also have the system paired with a Klipsch RP-1600SW. The center was by choice for design purposes of the living room furniture layout of the TV stand that the TV is mounted above and was able to fit in a small cubby in the TV stand. This was not the optimal end set up but more on this later, it was done for aesthetics as this was in my living room.

I did room correction with Dirac Live as this was one of the major deciders including the price point that pushed me to upgrade. Dirac Live correction was done on the Laptop - I never did the correction with the phone app, I opted for the laptop since reading everything pointed to better results with a PC. I did this in a quiet environment with all the other devices off so as to ensure fidelity of the measurements. I used a UMIK-1 microphone that is recommended by many forums including our own here at Slickdeals.

I was hesitant and concerned with all the reading about the 2021 PAC AVR "Limp Mode" issue. The KEFs all have a nominal impedance rated at 8ohms and range all the way down to 3.2ohms. It has been noted in other forums that these speakers, although not rated at 4ohms nominal, are harder to drive on some 2021 PAC AVRs and trigger the "Limp Mode". Being hopeful but also to avoid any issues, I installed (2) AC Infinity AIRPLATE S7s (each is fitted with dual 120mm fans - so 4 fans total) into my cabinet that remains closed. One AIRPLATE S7 at the bottom shelf to draw in (intake) cool air and one on the 2nd shelf where the receiver sits to draw out (exhaust). There are only 2 shelf compartments, PS5 and Xbox Series X sit in the bottom compartment with the intake fan. Each AIRPLATE unit at maximum each move 104CFM of air and are controlled by an AC Infinity Controller 2. Fan controller is set at 78F to turn on fans. Measured temps at 80-82F max in the cabinet. I have also matched speaker wire lengths to all relative speakers per position and am using 14 gauge pure copper wire to maintain lower resistance and consistent levels of impedance.

With all that in mind…..*drum roll please*…….



The results are in. After setup and room correction. IT SOUNDS AMAZING. Dirac Live is a game changer, highs are highs but not fatiguing, bass is accurate and deliberate, the center surprisingly not being matched (brand, drivers, complementing crossovers, and timbre matching) sounded seamless. The frequency response was consistent across all volumes and consistent into and past reference level. You don't have drivers overextending themselves and distorting with an inaccurate calibration. Wow. Just wow. Do yourself a favor and get this receiver only if you plan on doing Dirac Live room correction. Also, I recommend with even a trained ear, try the room correction out with any receiver you might have, (hopefully it's Dirac or an equivalent) very few people would be able to correct and calibrate as well as the Dirac did. Too many factors for us to try to consider, room size, room shape, insulation materials, types of surfaces, different objects in the room itself, only to mention a few. The receiver had no issues with driving the KEFs at extended periods at reference levels. Details are more transparent - the KEFs are already good at this, but Dirac Live room correction made it even better. No issues with any "Limp Mode", this may be the fact of adequate cooling in the cabinet.

I am currently waiting on a KEF Q6 Meta to arrive but am nowhere in a rush to replace the center, I just wanted to get the full set for when the time comes to complete it with my wife's permission. I know there will be upsides to the matched center and driver sizes but am very amazed by the seamlessness of the staging accomplished between two very different speakers from Front L/R and center speaker after completing Dirac Live room correction. It could be a commercial. It should be a commercial.

If there are any questions on anything, feel free to ask. I can provide more details to the processes or setup.

Thank you for taking the time to give your personal impression.
Would like to think this will finally kill off that speculation!

Unfortunately this positive impression will fall on deaf ears just like the many others & the speculation will pop its ugly head again, as it usually does! 🤷🏻 ♂️

The RZ30 may be newer but I suspect most of the guts (other than more of the newer HDMI chipsets and independent SW out) are circa 2021!It also doesn't help that the "newer" RZ30 suffers from the same "off by 1" DLBM/DLBC bug as the RZ50, DRX 5.4, etc!
Does the DRX 3.4 have the "off by one" bug?

I am a bit confused. Is this detailed review about DRX 3.4 or RZ30? Thanks

He says "this" receiver, I believe it's for the DRX 3.4.

This does not have access to DLBM or DLBC.
