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.
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.

BTW "amp assign" has nothing to do with this topic!
When you buy into an AVR product, you're also paying for a specific circuitry and philosophy by the manufacturer. It is good that you are asking these questions!
I did just buy a new Samsung 4K tv which my current receiver only does 1080p so I'll be upgrading soon. I'll keep testing the speakers and move them until they fit my liking, then will start shopping for the new AVR.
My living room is a large open room, opening to a kitchen and to a hallway to another floor. It's big, open, and challenging to get good audio going. I'm using some Mirage speakers and an SVS center, and an SVS sub. Someday I will replace the Mirage FR/FL/SR/SL with SVS Prime Sats, but today isn't that day.
I am stunned. After spending time with Dirac Live, it's _stunning_ the audio difference.
I'm not a tuner. on the Denon 760H, I ran Audyssey a few times, played around a bit, adjusted bass and such a bit, but that was about it.
Five minutes after doing a firmware update on the RZ-30 and then running Dirac Live (microphone and computer application required; takes reading a few readmes but isn't hard) and "programming the slot" with Dirac Live parameters, everything is better - bass, ambiance, vocals (subtitles not nearly as needed!) - it's just stunning.
Yes, $750 is a lot for most for an AVR. But wow, what a difference! I couldn't be happier.
This is as cheap( perhaps less) than the front page deals that were on the now 4+ year old RZ50

Also, based on my initial impression of the front panel it's very simplistic, reminding me of lesser, cheaper models. What happened to the sleek hidden panels to hide the secondary controls, is this just another cost saving effort, if so I for one don't care for it.
All that aside, if it punches beyond it's weight class I'd consider it, but not without at least one cooling fan... not at this price point.

This review shows a picture of a fan, and says " The receiver runs slightly (and only slightly) cooler than a hydrothermal vent, so it definitely needs room to breathe, but it certainly doesn't run much (if any) hotter than its Denon/Marantz competition."
It looked like peripherals were not in original packaging so not convinced it was new as advertised.
Adorama put me thru a lot to get a refund.
I had to fight them with my CC company.
They wanted me to pay a restock fee on a broken piece of equipment.
I would never buy from this company again
The HDMI out module on my Yamaha TSR-7850 just went out. Lasted about 6-years, would have liked to have gotten a few more years out of it... Looks like this may be a good replacement, any feedback on reliability?
This is fairly new but their prior model(RZ50) is 4 years old and for the most part has done good so far.
I have had good luck with mine too. Running strong for 4 years. My dedicated amplifier Emotiva XPA-3 Generation 3 has been in for warranty service twice in that time costing me $165 in shipping each time so stay away from them. They would not waive shipping even after the second time having to send it in within 4 years.
Sorry that happened to you.Not to debate your situation but Emotiva has solid reputation and very reliable.I personally know several that have their amps & only one has had an issue.The experience was very positive for them.
