The Onkyo TX-RZ30 is a modern 9.2-channel receiver that stands out for Dirac Live Bass Control support, two independent subwoofer outputs, newer HDMI 2.1a features, and pre-outs for external amplification. It is also seen as a strong value at $749, especially for buyers who want Dirac without moving up to a higher model. The main caveat is power, since the 170W figure is for one channel driven and real-world output is closer to about 100W with all channels driven. Dirac's included room correction also does not handle subwoofer integration on its own, so some setups may still want extra calibration hardware.

Common Questions (5)

  • For many shoppers, yes: the RZ30 is newer, has DLBC access, dual independent sub outs, and newer HDMI 2.1a features, while the Integra's 5-year warranty may not offset shipping hassles. The DRX 3.4 can still make sense if warranty coverage is the top priority or if you want to save money.

  • Yes. The RZ30 adds Dirac Live Bass Control support and has two independent subwoofer outputs, which is a key reason to choose it for room correction and dual-sub setups. The included Dirac package does not add subwoofer correction/integration by itself, so bass management still matters.

  • The 170W figure is for 1 channel driven at 6 ohms, not a full-system rating. Under the more typical 8-ohm, 2-channel-driven condition, it is around 100W per channel, and that is the comparison that matters for real-world use.

  • It is officially in the same class as most receivers here, which are rated down to 4 ohms. If your speakers routinely dip to 2 ohms, external amplification is the safer choice.

  • Yes. It has pre-outs, so you can add external amplification later for the front channels or other speakers if you want more headroom. That makes it easier to upgrade power without replacing the receiver.

what do you think would be good for external power
Any of the popular amps people talk about in here would do fine(ie Emotiva,Outlaw,OSD, Monoprice,etc)
In a small room very unlikely you need any though.

what are some good options for external amplification
It really depends on your budget, monoprice (monolith specifically) seems to make people happy (https://www.monoprice.com/categor...amplifiers ) at mid range prices. For a good "cheap" amp I've had very good results with outlaw audio ( https://outlawaudio.com/shop/11-power_amplifiers ) when I had a full set of maggies that I'd run at considerable volume levels. The outlaw 7 channel 130W @8ohm with *all* channels driven amp for 1k seems the best balance of power and price at first blush, but if you live in a proper city, there is also something to be said for buying (or at least shopping) local.

Thanks, OP! I just picked one up to replace my 7 year old Onkyo TX-RZ730 that has served me well and has not had the HDMI chip issue after about 20,000 hours of service. I do have a AC Infinity fan module over it from the beginning and that may have helped it to live an uneventful life. Now I will be moving it to another room to drive a 2.1 music setup.

What sold me are the latest HDMI 2.1a, dual subwoofer outs, DIRAC and eARC that I didn't have in the old Onkyo which my LG C9 OLED TV has.

Just pulled the trigger to replace my 11 year old Yamaha Rx-V675. Thanks OP.
Excited to see if Dirac Live can bring some new life to my speakers.

Should compare well. Keep in mind the Dirac RC included in this does not offer their subwoofer correction/integration. Have you given A1EVO a try, you don't lose subwoofer integration.The 3800 also offer directional sub calibration works under the same theory behind DLBC/ART.
Yeah I have setup A1EVO. If I keep the Onkyo I will probably invest in a miniDSP and calibrate the subs myself. I'd rather pay for calibration hardware than drop $$ on dirac locked to the unit.

I have a few requirements and I'm not sure if this one will work

Family room
One TV
5 speakers

Patio
TV
2 speakers

I want these to be treated as two zones that can sometimes push the same signals

For example one HDMI input (directv) pushing video and sound to both zones

I'd also like one or both areas to stream music both independently and together

Is this possible with this receiver?

If you're gonna manual calibrate your sub(s), the Integra for $200 less would probably be the better option.
That hardware is gonna cost you $300+, that's over $1k with this unit!

Eh yeah, the Integra is currently only $50 less and I'd much rather have full HDMI 2.1a for QMS. Plus I've been wanting an excuse to get a miniDSP and UMIK for quite some time... being able to properly measure my own subs is appealing. Audyssey XT32 and A1EVO have been pretty good, but my Denon 3800 has had some HDMI handshaking issues... I'm really hoping the Onkyo and its QMS/HDMI 2.1a make things happier. Best case, the Onkyo works better and fits my needs and I sell the Denon... worst case, I resell the Onkyo and end up in the same place and I'll get to try out DIRAC.

Not gonna get the miniDSP and UMIK until I test out the normal DIRAC and try to just wing it with the subwoofers based on the data from A1EVO. I'm not crazy level audiophile... as long as it's close to perfect, and the HDMI isn't wonky, I'm good. Smilie

Thanks to Dirac(& Denon/Marantz) no more manual calibration for me! 🙏🏼
Wish it was ARC, it's better imo but it's close enough, ART will be very interesting also.

Keep in mind the included Dirac on this doesn't offer their subwoofer/bass correction/integration.
It relies on the units bass management to calibrate it into the system.

You'll have to give us your impression once you get to try it out.
Good luck.

To the experts here, how does this compare to Integra DRX 3.4? I am looking for a boomy amp for the home theater and 170w/channel is looking attractive compared to the 100w on Integra. There is also 2 year vs 5 year warranty which is important. Thanks in advance.
I bought a integra 3.4 from Adorama
I received a defective unit.
Adorama customer service said send it back and we will refund your money in full.
After they received the unit they refunded me but charged a 15% restocking fee.
I called them again and told them the unit was defective and I will not pay a restock fee on a defective product.
Their customer service rep said she will look in to it and let me know in a couple days.
I have challenged the charge with My CC company.
I will repost if Adorama does the right thing and returns the rest of my money.
The receiver had no volume using 3 different inputs.
I even tried direct sound from TV EARC and same thing
In my opinion it had a bad HDMI board.
I am glad I took a video of the non functioning unit.

If you mean the 3.4 it's likely discontinued. It's over 4 years old & many retailers show it as no longer available. https://www.crutchfield.com/S-xEs...X-3-4.html

Thanks. I guess it is time to replace my 8 year old RZ820 which still works fine. This is nice that it has pre-outs since i use the main 2 front channels to power a Bryston amp for my Magnepans. I have been using the internal amp for my magnepan center channel. This seems like the perfect time to upgrade.
