This is 3+ years newer, supports 2 additional surround channels, and features HDMI 2.1a (vs 2.1 which had firmware fixes and some still don't trust that it will deliver full speed on 2.1) do note however that this is a 100 watts per channel (with 2 driven at 8ohm as most receivers market their power) the inflated watts on the site are for 1 channel driven at 6ohms which is highly misleading.

Unless it is significantly cheaper or you really really *really* like Yamaha sound there is no reason to go for the Yamaha over this at this price.

I picked this RZ30 up on the last $750 price drop and if your thinking about it DO IT. It is phenomenal, I went from a ATMOS yamaha with YAPO calibration to the Onkyo Dirac and it's not even close. The one drawback, the Onkyo app is junk compared to the Yamaha but guess what i'm not listening to the app. Hopefully Onkyo puts a little more in to the app with future updates.

Community Reviews

The TX-RZ30 stands out as a newer 9-channel AV receiver with HDMI 2.1a, dual independent sub outs, preouts, and Dirac Live room correction with access to DLBC. That combination makes it appealing for 5.1, 5.1.2, or larger setups, and the room correction is repeatedly described as a major upgrade over Yamaha YPAO and older Audyssey tuning. The main caveats are that Dirac has a learning curve, DLBC is a separate subscription, and the internal amps stay engaged when using preouts. A few reports also raise reliability concerns, including hiss or static and the need for good ventilation. It is a strong feature-rich receiver if those tradeoffs fit the setup.

Im going to run this with the Arcam SA30 for the front channels. Thanks!
That's strange. I searched that RZ30 manual and it didn't mention anything about offloading AVR power to external amps using the pre-outs. AFAIK, the "amp assign" function for Onkyo is only available starting from the RZ70 tier as not even the RZ50 had it.

sorry, i'm new to this HT setup. So i thought that you could run 2 RCA cables from the front L/R channels Pre-out of this receiver to the analog input (such as CD) on the Arcam, then set this CD input as "Process Mode" to by pass the DAC in the Arcam, only utilizing its internal amp. The rest of the other speakers can be ran from the receiver's speaker terminals. AM i wrong?

yes, i have looked at page 46 all day today! the picture only shows using ALL Pre-out channels. i only want to run the two front L/R channels. this is possible correct? From what i understand, the signal are always available on the "pre-out" jacks, i don't have to change any setting/configurations on the AVR setting. Thank you for the help.

You can use the pre-outs but without the benefit of offloading power from internals amps like you could on say, a Denon 3800.

Yes that's correct and yes always on.Not many units let you disengage internal amps(preamp mode). It's ideal but still works if it's not an option. This is a very capable unit, you may not need the Arcam.

Capable or not, I can't help but think that external amps will offer more detail and stability down to 4 ohm speakers?I kind of feel like most receivers amps sound very similar anymore.

Edit: specs say this is stable down to 4 ohm? So sonus faber etc??

Also I'm not sure why this says $750 from $1250. Crutchfield has it listed for $999. $750 is obviously lower but the percentage off isn't as good as shown

i'd think that allocate the 2 front L/R channel duty to the Arcam then the RZ30 amp would free up and runs the rest of the other channel better? not sure how that works but i'd hope so.

Yes I agreed, it should help. Keep in mind, since they continue to draw power protection mode comes into play here. I can tell you I implemented this with a Primes setup & at average levels it was solid. Popular reviewer AR used this on Ultras and gave it a very good review.

It's probably because technically it's on sale also but since it's backordered it's only showing the sale price for some reason.
