This used to be regularly $200 cheaper before tarrifs. Ugh

That was for a new one also!

If you don't need the extra two channels.
Might be better to get the RZ30 for $764 from EE.
Much newer, independent sub outs & access to DLBC.

I've owned this unit for four years, and it's been an excellent receiver overall. Just a couple of notes:
  1. Direct Mode isn't truly direct. There's still some coloration from the internal DAC, even if you're trying to use an external one.
  2. Chromecast Audio can be sporadic and occasionally unreliable.
That's it—those are my only complaints. Otherwise, it's an outstanding unit.

I would add mono sub outs & channels 10 & 11 cannot be assigned, they have to be powered externally.

Out of curiosity, did you run into any of the issues people have complained about(ie off by .1, hissing) in that time?

rz30 might be a better buy.

Agreed, only reason to get the RZ50 is if you need/require 11 channels.

They're trying to match the 3800 pricing but don't have Dirac ART to show for it (now w/BF bundle pricing)!

Is there an X3800H sale price out there right now? I didn't see anything too significant yet and am hoping that something shows up tomorrow.

Haven't seen anything since the recent $1190 "sale". D&M appear to be sitting pretty with pricing now as demand appears to be high!

It might be a good plan to see if tomorrow brings something good before deciding on the RZ30!

Owning the 3800 with ART & setting it up on 3 other different setups.I also have set this up with Primes. Imo unless you have to have Denon and don't need more than 9 channels.This is probably the better buy. As great as ART is. You should have an optimal setup to make it worthwhile ime. At over double the price over this, won't hear that much difference(if at all) for the cost.
